Description

Leaving Ameland at low tide means sailing to the mainland through relatively small canals around sand- and mud banks., Many thanks for your wonderful and kind words on my previous posting, the ferries from and to Ameland with the gull in between!! From the ferry boat, you can see very nicely the different waves, tidal waves at low tide, and the wave cause by the boat. Ameland is one of the 6 Wadden islands north of the Netherlands. The north side of the island is facing the open North Sea. In between Ameland and the mainland you find the Wadden sea; a paradise for birds. The Wadden Sea is a typical tidal zone area which turns into a mud-flat area with grooves and channels at low tide. The mainland you can see from the island. Ameland is a 26 Km (17 miles) long and 3 km (2 miles) wide, except for the western part which is slightly broader. There are a few little villages and you find a lot of little houses build between 1700 and 1800, still in a perfect condition, nowadays with modern comfort. The most important houses were owned by the commandeers

The contradicting movement of the water allows the eye to travel about only to discover the little red boye in the distance so perfectly placed for ballance. Beautifully doen my friend. Have a great weekend Henk. My best to you and the family.
