The fastest way back to the North Sea is through the Nordzeekanal out to Ijmuiden.

An alternative is a several days trip through Standing Mastroute ending up in Vlissingen (Flushing) in South Holland.

Once clearing the locks in Ijmuiden we were out on the North Sea again.

Coming out to sea and rolling there are several new sounds appearing onboard Dora Mac. Bianca doesn`t like it and first reacts by barking. When the sounds doesn`t disappear from her barking she goes into the security of her travelbox.
