A trip to Uitdam

Last Saturday I went with some KOIJ club members from IJburg to Pampus Island. Again for a coffee break on the island, it is starting to become a tradition! Despite the forecast the weather was nice.

After the break I decided to continue to Uitdam on my own. The wind was a mild 2 to 3 Bft from the North East and I was in for some lonely paddling. After some time I arrived at Uitdam and explored the coastline to find a suitable beach to land on. There was a little harbour that seems new to me but I paddles further to the North East and found a little beach at the start of the dyke to Marken. I believe this is the beach that is used for starting trips around the Marken Island.

The way back I headed straight to IJburg. However I had to get around some working areas and watching the shipping lane to Amsterdam. After all it was a nice trip and that evening I felt tired.
