Another quiet night at anchor, just after the lifting bridge at Zecherin.  Amazing birdlife, Sea Eagles, Golden Eagles, Lesser Spotted Eagles and Red Kites all flying quite close to the boat.

 

Off at 6am through the final lagoons of the bodden, across the Polish border, marked by a line of yellow buoys, and into Swinoujscie, a major port and seaside resort. Ashore for a walk and a traditional Polish lunch of beetroot soup with dumplings, pierogi and qwomki (Sorry, Danuta, for my anglicised spelling!)

 

Off again later out into the Baltic Sea for a night passage up the Polish coast to Kolobrzeg or possibly on to Leba.
