At 12 noon LT today we left the English Channel at Ijmunden (pop. 30.160), a port city located at the mouth of the North Sea Canal to Amsterdam. We had to wait for a few minutes for the canal lock to open. Once the lock had been opened, the lock master gave Lasse permission to enter together with a Dutch river barge.
After exiting the lock Lasse pointed Jennifer's nose towards Amsterdam's main railway station on the South side of River Ij. Our marina is located just opposite this railway station on the North side of this river. A free ferry service (photo below) is available day and night to connect the city's North and South side.
