Entering the Waal.






As soon as the Rhine flows across the border into Holland, it is called the Waal. Even though we experienced a strong current, we were surprised that it was not more than it was. This due to the fact that the river here is so much wider than the IJssel, and the pannard canal (the bodies of water we navigated before getting into the Rhine).

However we experienced much more traffic, and also the current increase was significant where the Rhine narrowed.
