Tree surgery is a real art in The Netherlands, with many interesting shapes being created, by training the branches.
We have to cross the Amsterdam - Rijn Kanaal, a major waterway which is best avoided. A barge crosses ahead of us, but will be gone soon.
Now on the way across, we should have plenty of time to be clear before the next barge gets to us.
We are safely across before the barge passes, well behind us.
We thought The Puzzler was small to be crossing the Amsterdam - Rijn Kanaal, but this little boat crossed, just ahead of us! He has just bought this boat, his first boat, and is taking it back to Amsterdam. Not far beyond the lock, his engine failed. It was a good thing that this did not happen when that barge was coming, a couple of minutes ago on the crossing!
In Utrecht we moored to the south west of the city, on Singelgracht, where there is plenty of room for boats.
