Cross the stream to the target

The next morning we meet at ten clock on boot. install new toilet 🙂, Cati has but beware. When Alex climbs down the long bridge to the city marina, I've already had three rises to the top of the mast behind me. The Windex is mounted. Ideal Gelegenheit, try it, the new mini-camera. The result you see here:

Granted - the mother lay on the Windexhalter, does not look very smart. But in their mouths (I usually always do) I did not even, because I just previously with “Mannerdeo” had treated. The camera was only just the top of the mast, was secured at least a Lanyard.

Another hour later, the heavy genoa pulled into the foil and on the masthead (up again …) secured. Point 12 (new age) We pull the mooring deck and push us away from the pier. Even in the harbor I can not take my eyes off of the new multi-function display. The boat accelerates, The numbers flash - and I can see our speed! Madness. The last boat with Log … that must have been four years since. What a luxury 🙂

The electricity and the water that drains us out quickly ziehem. We make eight knots over the ground, through the water half. With relish, we chug past the fish auction hall and the museum harbor Övelgönne. After the turnoff to Süderelbe the wind is a light from the front. Nevertheless, we set sail: Large and Kutterfock, because intersect with the genoa can be so complicated. 4-5 Knoten Wind, 1 Knots. For some nodes Elbe water and drip. A strange sight, as we bob up and down across the river and we are a lot faster sideways move, as forward.

Just before we throw Wedel finally back to the old diesel and chug the last mile in the Box. We get a seat, the further away from the toilet really could not be away. But he is very centrally located, exactly centered in the pelvis - and just in the field of view Wedel Webcam. Since then, I watch every hour after, What a luxury 🙂

For a whole month, we will now remain in Wedel, tinker and bring the boat in good shape. Then it goes to the end of April through the Kiel Canal back Kopperby.
