Next week we’re leaving the rental house we stayed for the last couple of months and finally move in to our beloved Lady Tuuli. It’s not that she’s completely ready yet, but we still have a few weeks to manage all the last things. A new alternator, some batteries, a mast, starlink, sails and a lot of fuel, just to mention some little things.
Then we’ll set sail for Vlieland and as soon as we get a nice weather window it’s straight off to the west coast of Norway.
There’s a lot going on the next couple of weeks. So we’re really busy trying to sort things out to hopefully make it all happen. But then there’s always Bertold Brecht’s quote.
“Ja, mach nur einen Plan! Sei nur ein großes Licht! Und mach dann noch ’nen zweiten Plan, gehn tun sie beide nicht.”
So we left Cuxhaven early on Saturday morning. We started with about 20 knots and ended the sailing, eleven hours later, at about six o’clock with only 8 knots left on the anemometer. The rest of the trip our Perki did the job. We arrived at the Vlieland marina at 10am. Job done.
But now it’s time for some little maintenance, some new things and stuff before we take Tuuli to the mainland for more serious things.
Let’s first start removing this old waterheater 😉
Almost there, straight from Helgoland. At this moment 2100 rpm, speed through water 10kn, 8kn sog, 2kn tide against, aprox 20ltr/h per engine.
Thx to the Mu’s for the video!
