Wind was forecast to turn east and since we are heading east into the German Bight we were keen to leave or else have to spend possible a week on Terschelling at €47 per night. 
Due to the funnel effect winds in The German Bight tend to be quite strong. A favourable forecast should be taken whenever possible. 
After Frans watched the Spanish Grand Prix with his Mum and Dad we left our moorings at Terschelling at 18:20h.
