Noordpier and beach IJmuiden

We had a trouble free trip up to Ijmuiden, stopping a couple of times to get stuff in supermarkets that is not available in Scotland, before getting on the ferry to Newcastle. The weather wasn’t great as we got to the Amsterdam area, with showers and strong winds and at Ijmuiden it was positively breezy (Gale Force 6 according to the captain). Unusually the ferry was pulled and pushed out of the dock by tug boats until it was clear of the docks. The blip is from the ferry as we were just about to leave the Ijmuiden harbour entrance looking at the windsurfers, kitesurfers and other adrenaline junckies as they took advantage of the extreme conditions. Red flags are for wimps.
