Nijmegen

IJssel-Pannerden Canal

Here the signs to proof that we went from the IJssel to thePannerden Canal and from the Canal on the Waal.

We found it both a little bit exciting because we had already heard so many stories about the Waal, the bustle and the biiiiiig ships. 

Pannerden Canal -Waal

Well it's  all true but it is very easy to navigate, just like on the IJssel you use the blue board a lot, only not on our own initiative but in response.

navigating between the big boys

Since not all the big boys take the inside curve it leads to situations in which we had to zigzag between others, as above, where the other ships alternating had the blue sign up. 

I know of course that there are big ships here, I've also seen them before but never this close and as I myself am on the water.  

All in all an exciting and fun experience.

they really are huge

 We are now two nights in the harbor of Nijmegen and continue Thursday to the Maas
