Download or read book Cruising the Heart of Holland written by Tom Sommers and published by . This book was released on 2016-10-07 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This cruising guide provides information for those traveling by canal cruiser, either rented or privately owned, on a trip through the Netherlands provinces of Noord Holland, Zuid Holland and Utrecht. It not only shows where you can go but also why you might want to go there. Eight suggested touring routes are described in detail on maps and cruising logs, along with "nuts and bolts" pages about navigational charts and signs, operation of bridges and locks, as well as tables listing the length, from/to points and restrictive dimensions of each of the 67 individual waterways of the region. The "Heart of Holland" is the region of lakes, rivers, canals and natural areas within the loop of cities of the Randstad - Rotterdam, Delft, Den Haag, Leiden, Haarlem, Amsterdam, Hilversum, Utrecht, and Gouda - an almost continuous circle. In this middle lays a green area, sprinkled with small and medium-sized villages, each with its own culture, history and architecture. On the west are the beaches of the North Sea, at Katwijk and Scheveningen. Arguably this is the best cruising area of the Netherlands. You can moor along the banks of the canals or in ports. You will find boat clubs and commercial marinas with shore power and other services, at a small charge, and many free moorings without facilities. The book lists all of these and displays the locations on maps. Over 175 color photos depict the scenes along the waterways.
