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 ...
Today we were very lucky with a harbour porpoise. Suddenly it came direct to our boat and we could hear him breathing. He really inspected us and turned sideways to take a closer look towards us. We could see his white belly! And as you can hear, we were a bit excited about the sighting ...
On our second leg we sail von Langeland in Denmark into the German River Schlei and afterwards to Kiel in order to head through the Kiel Canal towards the North Sea. We even stayed a few days in Kiel. But not because the city is so beautiful, but rather because there are still too many ...
Dear friends, we’ve untied the lines!! Before we left, we had stressful days full of preparations and we thank all the people, who helped us in the recent days. Without you guys, we would probably still be home in Stralsund. Even we were a bit wistful when we left, after all we leave a lot ...
It was quite busy in the last days but we made it and “sailed away” Even the radio played the right song on the last day. Es ging in den letzten Tagen drunter und drüber aber wir haben es tatsächlich geschafft und sind losgesegelt Das Radio spielte am letzten Tag den passenden Song dazu!
Yesterday we had a several hours drive in blazing sunshine, unfortunately with a faulty AC. And for lack of sea maps in the car, we’ve planned our route to Spain (plan B …. plan Y) with the “Street Maps of Europe” atlas. Has anyone gained any sailing experience in France? We wanted to leave out ...
