Started day with finally finding the water supply to top up. Well hidden. We were behind a German in the Queue, when he finished filling he rolled away the hose and we had to then immediately pull it out  again!!!
Had a great lunch stop small island on the ether of a Meer. See photos. 
Arrive at Joure was able to get a good mooring a the bank just down from the Dowe Egberts coffee factory. Electricity is extra to mooring fee. Have to purchase a €7 card (€2 euro of electricity included and €5 deposit return when card is returned. However peculiar sequence to get the power started.  We failed two attempts office was no help but we found out eventually circuit breaker tripped inside the box. We were able to reset it and all was good.  Bonus was it had probably tripped sometime ago and €5 of Power had already been credited and not used so we had no concern about paying an extra.
Evening meal was very good at Fred‘s bistro well worth a visit. €35 a head with tip. 
Berthing fee was €28
Facilities 
Plenty of showers
€0.5 for three minute shower
No control of temperature or flow rate but warm enough flow just adequate. Okay, size cubicle nicely set out with imitation wood as the decor. 
Very limited opening hours by Harbour Master 17:00 to 18:00 each afternoon, with a half hour between 8:00 and 0830 for a refund of electricity card. 
To cross canal an electric drive yourself ferry exists very interesting see the video. 
 
Note final destination selected  by SailTies is Shown as Snikzwaag but is actually Joure.
