The weather was cloudy and rainy when I arrived in Amsterdam yesterday. However, it was a beautiful day in the 60s when we set sail. |
The modern day version of the windmill is everywhere (including a wind farm along the coast where the ship was docked). |
The harbor where we were docked was outside the city of Amsterdam with a very industrial feel. |
Officers on the starboard side are helping with our movement away from the dock. |
Again it was a cool July day, but that didn't stop folks from enjoying the sand and surf in the harbor area. |
I'm sure they had fun surfing. I hope they had on wet suits for warmth. |
We made the short distance from our berth to the open sea. |
The ship moved from the safety of the port into the North Sea. |
A final look at The Netherlands as we move to open sea. Next stop (on Day 3 - tomorrow is a sea day) will be Scotland. |
