We sailed out of the IJmuiden harbor at July 24h, heading for Texel. Wind was not that strong, 3-4 Bf. Waves were pretty high, 2-3 meters. Took a bit of water :)
Ijmuiden is a very odd place wavewise! When we were crossing the North Sea from Harwich to Ijmuiden in june last year we had a F5-6 blowing with waves in excess of 5m near the harbour entrance!
yes it sure is! the most difficult part is just when you get out of the entrance, with currents going everywhere :)
