I'm sorry, I had router problems for days and a lame Internet connection as a result. Due to much work I'm way behind on commenting and visiting. I'm coming.

Tour of Europe 04 2016
We come back from Bremen in Germany and join my son and grandson here for the w-e.
Greeted by this beautiful and peaceful sight!
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.
Wishing you well and stay safe!

The lighthouse of the port of Hellevoetsluis, in the Netherlands, and a sky spectacle with the setting sun in the background.
My hometown, Hellevoetsluis has approximately 40 thousand inhabitants and is located on the Haringvliet. In the past, naval ships sailed from here to the North Sea with people on board such as Piet Hyen and Michiel de Ruyter to achieve victories against England or France. That did not always succeed. On 15-11-1971, the Haringvlietdam was opened. This lock separated the Haringvliet from the North Sea, the function of naval town has expired. Nevertheless, much can still be found from times gone by.

The lighthouse in the fortress of Hellevoetsluis is the oldest original and working round lighthouse in the Netherlands. The lighthouse dates from 1822 and is characteristic of the fortress of Hellevoetsluis and its history.
The tower is 18.10m high, is painted cream and has 2 floors. Around the iron lighthouse with copper dome is a cast iron walkway with balustrade, which rests on openwork cast iron consoles. The tower was extensively renovated in 1901 and tiled up to the entrance in 1961. There are a number of round window openings in the tower.

The original oil house [next to the lighthouse] was demolished in 1930, but in 2011 architect Gunnar Daan built a replica, with modern kiosk functions this time.
... PEACE and QUIET,
When all is 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.

Last sunrise on the old trusted berth. The last sunrise for the Noordhinder on this old trusted berth. It is the day of the relocation to the new Koningskade also in Hellevoetsluis. A beautiful fresh sunny day to festively welcome the Lightship in the historic naval harbor where she will become a real maritime attraction together with other historic ships and the dry dock.

Lichtschip 12 De Noord-Hinder - Relocation
This Lightship (Est. 1963) is the last lightship built in the Netherlands. On March 21, 1994, this last Dutch lightship was definitively taken from the sea and is now a museum ship in Hellevoetsluis. The all orange ship in maintained by a group of passionate volunteers keeping the ship in authentic state. The ship has been in service at several places on the North Sea off the Dutch coast and is still well known to many shipping crews.
The Noord-Hinder is 45.4 meters long, 8.35 meters wide, draft 3.2 meters, displacement 510 tons and was equipped with a few small diesel engines. The light, in an 18-meter tower above sea level, had a range of 27 nautical miles. The light from the 4,200-watt lamp was amplified by a Fresnel lens and emitted 2 flares every 10 seconds. It was also equipped with a radar beacon and fog horn.
