Do you remember our lucky find of a message in a bottle? We contacted the family in Hamburg and they were really happy! But the bottle did not have that long a journey. The bottle was thrown into the sea near to where we found it just one month ago. Normally the familiy doesn’t throw ...
Hejsan Sverige, we made it to Sweden! We sailed to Landskrona and choosed the small, but beautiful harbour directly beneath the water tower, that might have been an UFO in former life times. Now in the early september the holiday season is actually over and we can mostly choose all the free berths for our ...
Some days ago we were followed by a harbour porpoise! It was bft 4 and we were running downwind along the Peninsula of Kullen in Sweden only with our mainsail. At first we heard the little whale breathing somewhere behind us. Then we could spot him several times. We were fast and he was, too! ...
Unser vorerst letzter Stopp in Dänemark ist Kopenhagen und wir erkunden diese sehenswerte Stadt einen ganzen Tag lang per pedes. Also raus der Bootsenge und rein ins Getümmel der Stadt! Gemeinsam mit unendlich vielen Touristen, auch aus den zahlreichen Kreuzfahrtschiffen, schieben wir uns von einer Sehenswürdigkeit zur nächsten. Und doch finden wir auch Ecken, die ...
In Denmark we use a windstill day and a good anchorage near the Danish island of Vejrø for the first dive with our new small 7-liter dive tanks. Dine needs a little exercise without a BCD, and Mark is an old hare. We take a closer look at the seegrass ecosystem. With the lens of ...
On our way through the Danish south seas between Seeland and Mön we sailed along many a channel. Happy to see the occasional seal and porpoise! The channels were well bouyed. But even without the bouys we could have found our way since the fishing nets neatly lined the shipping lanes. It’s a wonder anything ...
The northeastern channel spat us out again in Kiel, we are forging new plans and are planning an approximate route through Denmark towards Sweden. It is a bit nice, not to have to sail westwards with all the western winds against us 🙂 Our journey leads through the South Funen Archipelago through the Little Belt ...
Wow! While walking at the beach near Rødvig in Denmark we collected again marine litter, BUT this time we found very special marine waste: A message in a bottle !!! We were soooo happy about it! It felt like finding a treasure! What will be written in it? We smashed the bottle and unrolled the ...
In Cuxhaven we first ran a few errands and then it was time to take the outgoing tide from Cuxhafen out towards Heligoland. Not just any time of day, but in the wee morning hours at 3 am! Not at all what we like, but then again we still had plenty of time later on ...
