You are saying that I should be in the rightmost part of that lane, so that cars can still pass me on the left, within that lane - is that correct?

There is some uncertainty in my mind as to what exactly it means to "take" a lane. I just thought it meant "be in" the lane. I didn't necessarily think it meant "be in the very center of" the lane.

I did not understand fietsbob's advice, because I was unfamiliar with the term "Fog line". Sorry :-(
