What a difference a day makes! Sunday was still grey, but dry and the wind had calmed to a light breeze. Under full rig we headed for the island of Tiengemeten. On the way, we narrowly escaped the Pirates of the Haringvliet.
Tiengemeten is a very young island, that only emerged from the waters in the XVIIth century. At present it is preserved as a "nature monument", only accessible by ferry or your own boat. Even than you are not allowed to stay in the small harbour overnight.

After a short walk on the island we returned to Mekicevica with the intention of sailing to Stellendam. The problem was, the wind had died even further. Now there was no wind at all. After sitting for a while, making no progress whatsoever, we opted for plan B (or was it C? or D?): motor back to Middelharnis. Mekicevica will stay here for another two weeks resting before new adventures.
