Short trip out from Hellevoetsluis to spend the night on anchor. Put up the mizzen and staysail in light winds. picked up a mooring buoy and watched the 90% partial solar eclipse through a pinhole projector (sleeve from the beer cans with a pinhole in it!) and also a ladle/strainer! Hence the odd photos! 😂
