Peta Torrance

Bridge didn't open at noon, waited 2 hrs for 2pm opening. Let lots of vessels from oncoming direction through and all but us through before closing bridge again. next opening was at 8pm!! Read, got the jigsaw out, folks had a nap, made a nice dinner etc. Fair amount of rain during our wait. Once through the bridge and lock, a short motor to marina in Amsterdam.
