🌤️ SW 4, broken cloud, 18 °C, slight chop
Proper crossing today - beam reach across the open IJsselmeer with one reef in for the gusts. The lake gets a short, steep sea when the wind picks up; you feel it more than the numbers suggest. Tied up in Makkum by late afternoon, staging for the lock tomorrow.
