We left Goes on the 10am bridge heading for the Grevelingenmeer which is the lake above the Oosterschelde. After leaving Goes there is just one lock into the Grevelingenmeer. It’s a big lock, and the only entrance and exit to the area, so it is very busy with everyone trying to get in so it’s a bit of a bum fight!
Once through we headed straight for an island just north of the lock. The islands have pontoons attached to the shore and ashore its all grass which is kept mown. There are even rubbish bins and toilets, and what’s more all this is provided free. Hollands great!
The walk ashore pontoons here are quite narrow, with small bollards in the middle every couple of metres, which makes it a bit tricky to get past, especially in a lot of wind, as we had today!
