WHAT THE SQUID

It’s a couple of years ago. We were fishing for mackerel and young cod at a wrecksite above ‘Teleurschelling’. It wasn’t a good day for fishing, swell and tide were hitting us, but we managed to get some fish on board. Just before the tide was getting to strong i felt a different vibration on the rod. To my surprise there was a little squid on the hook. Quite amazing, i never caught one before here. So after a quick look i released it.

Today i got rewarded for that memorable moment. Kids in the Vlieland marina were catching little crabs and stuff from jetties and to my surprise they caught two really tiny squidies (max 3cm) with there little net. I never knew they grew up here right under my feet hull.

Although i’ve seen those little curious beauties in the Caribic before, these two were just more then astonishing.

HOME SWEET WHATEVER

The eagle has landed. Tuuli is finally back on Vlieland and also ready to take off later on this week. It looks like our destination is going to be the Elbe (Brunsbüttel & Currywurst), but you never know. With Helgoland and even Thyboron still in mind we’ll see where the wind will bring us.

If you like you can follow us on Marine Traffic. Search on Tuuli or on our MMSI 244660104.

BYE BYE M-JETTY

Although we’re really not that far away from the marina in Makkum, we are finally on our way. One night anchoring near the ‘Lorentz locks’ before we move on tomorrow. The only trouble i had so far was finding some matching music, had some comments about that lately 😉 Last but not least i found this beautiful golden oldie!

VLIELAND – NOT DOING ANYTHING

I don’t feel like doing anything. Have to tidy up the camper a bit. Could do some administration or a few minor repairs in the shed. The 1wheelfloatinglady needs some attention. Don’t feel like going for a walk or a testride on my E-bike. Still have two weeks to hit the road with the 4wheelmachine. I think I’ll just sit and wait for it to rain again.

Do you think there are already any sea bass?
