SVERIGE
5 days, 400 miles, 4 countries, 3 bottles of wine, 22 degrees in the sun, almost out of whiskey and the good food.
I’M SO TIRED ;)
Today we arrived at the little marina on Serejø. Just lovely beeing the only one here. We did a nice 70 miles from our anchorage last night. Some sailing, some motoring, some wind, no wind, more than enough wind and some pancakes. Tomorrow we’re heading for Sweden. That’s the last stage we do before we slow down a bit. Ok, maybe we slow down a bit.
D.I.R.K. vs MS3
Crossing shipping lanes can be tricky. Especially when you have to cross a double one in the middle of the night. So while Leonie and I enjoyed our 3 hour sleep Dirk was playing with big carriers and the ‘Mein Schiff 3’ at the Weser lanes. I’m not sure how often he changed course to play it save, but he got us through in one piece.
If you meet Dirk feel free to ask him about it. It’s a hell of a story.
WHAT THE SQUID
It’s a couple of years ago. We were fishing for mackerel and young cod at a wrecksite above ‘Teleurschelling’. It wasn’t a good day for fishing, swell and tide were hitting us, but we managed to get some fish on board. Just before the tide was getting to strong i felt a different vibration on the rod. To my surprise there was a little squid on the hook. Quite amazing, i never caught one before here. So after a quick look i released it.
Today i got rewarded for that memorable moment. Kids in the Vlieland marina were catching little crabs and stuff from jetties and to my surprise they caught two really tiny squidies (max 3cm) with there little net. I never knew they grew up here right under my feet hull.
Although i’ve seen those little curious beauties in the Caribic before, these two were just more then astonishing.
HOME SWEET WHATEVER
The eagle has landed. Tuuli is finally back on Vlieland and also ready to take off later on this week. It looks like our destination is going to be the Elbe (Brunsbüttel & Currywurst), but you never know. With Helgoland and even Thyboron still in mind we’ll see where the wind will bring us.
If you like you can follow us on Marine Traffic. Search on Tuuli or on our MMSI 244660104.
BYE BYE M-JETTY
Although we’re really not that far away from the marina in Makkum, we are finally on our way. One night anchoring near the ‘Lorentz locks’ before we move on tomorrow. The only trouble i had so far was finding some matching music, had some comments about that lately 😉 Last but not least i found this beautiful golden oldie!
