Day 9
Holland is a ‘water-land’ and so very much a sailing nation!
There is much activity on the water, yes the Dutch love their boats!
The weather is gorgeous, a real Spring day.
We have a day of ‘rest’ with the family…
In the morning I just take a few photos of what is in front of me, the yachting basin.
Thanx for your visits and comments, M, (*_*)

When all are preparing for the night, a soothing moment, soaking up the silence of the evening.
The moon a slither, and only the music of the yachting paraphernalia, a rhythmic clanking of metal.
Hellevoetsluis features a six magnificent ports with a total of about 2,000 moorings.
The ports provide a wonderful base for boaters who love the wide waters of the Haringvliet and the sea.
From Hellevoetsluis it is possible to both inland waterways and the sea, also to sail in the Zeeland and South Holland Delta.
Hellevoetsluis is located on the Haringvliet with the sea, beach and dunes close by, on the extreme southern edge of the Rijnmond and Europoort areas, close to the broad Zeeland landscape.
The name translates as "lock at the foot of the Helle".
The Helle was a small local river which disappeared over time.
Thank you for your visits and comments, M, (*_*)

Crazy really, but I don't really have much to do on gray days. Of course I have a thing for gray, but not on such a very dull day (besides eating ofcourse). I'd prefer to spend a little longer under my extra fur. Well, I guess we all cats do.

Hellevoetsluis was the naval port of the Admiralty of de Maze (Rotterdam) and could accommodate an entire fleet within a special land-enclosed fortress with harbour and dockyard facilities, accessible through a canal. Thanks to its strategic situation the town grew from the beginning of the 17th century to be the homeport for the Dutch war fleet. In later years the port was fortified more and more and Hellevoetsluis, therefore, became a unique combination of a fortified town and a naval port.

Hellevoetsluis is a small city and municipality on Voorne-Putten Island in the western Netherlands, in the province of South Holland.
The history of Hellevoetsluis has always been connected with water. During the time of the United Provinces Hellevoetsluis was the naval port of the Admiralty of de Maze (Rotterdam) and could accommodate an entire fleet within a special land-enclosed fortress with harbour and dockyard facilities, accessible through a canal. Thanks to its strategic situation the town grew from the beginning of the 17th century to be the homeport for the Dutch war fleet. In later years the port was fortified more and more and Hellevoetsluis therefore became a unique combination of fortified town and naval port. The Admirals Maarten Tromp, Michiel de Ruyter and Piet Heyn had their home base here and in 1688 during the Glorious Revolution William III of Orange's invasion fleet departed from the port.
The Kanaal door Voorne (Canal through Voorne) was built in 1830 from Hellevoetsluis to Nieuwesluis (near Heenvliet) and made Hellevoetsluis an outport of Rotterdam. It was a period when the town grew and flourished; the shipping industry provided prosperity.
In the first half of the 20th century, however, Hellevoetsluis went into decline. Ocean-going ships became too large to use the canal and the Nieuwe Waterweg was dug, making the Canal through Voorne redundant. The naval base was relocated to Den Helder in the 1930s, the Government shipyard was closed, and during World War II the Germans destroyed three quarters of all buildings in 1944. They also used the canal as a base for Biber submarines.[5]
After World War II Hellevoetsluis grew considerably. As a New Town the population doubled in the 1970s. Today 43,000 inhabitants live in modern houses with abundant green areas nearby. It is home to many commuters working in Europoort or Rotterdam.
The lighthouse of Hellevoetsluis, it's location is a famous landmark of Dutch national history in history a 17 century naval base of the Admiralty of the Maze. It is the same pier where the silver fleet of Piet Hein was disembarked in 1629, the journey with Michiel de Ruyter to Chatham began (Raid on the Medway in 1667) and on November 11, 1688, William III and his fleet began their journey to England, to ascend the throne with his wife Mary, and to become King of England, Scotland, and Ireland.

Anemone in my garden in deep colors of blue, purple and red. Fragile to wind but a beauty to see. A very nice flower for some close-up photography. Anemone are called "wind flowers", its name derived from the Greek word anemoi, which in English means "winds".
