Hello again.
Forgive me for not writing an enlish update
sooner.
I´m bad at this, I know.
But here it is a short update.
I think it is some four day ago since I the last
update.
So what has happen ?
And the Answer IS.......... not much .
We came in to the Kiel canal and went in to a
little side stick where there is another canal lock.
Wery nice and calm little place.
On the country side rigt in the mioddle
of a bird preservation area.
So goingup that canal was like going up a djungle
river really.
So nice!
And we knew this because we have been there
before.
So we slept a little and continuied the next day to
Kiel.
Rain was poring down on us!
In the afternoon when we where laying alongside
after the Baltic sea locks in Der Alte Schlusse, the sun came out.
Even nicer! :-)
In the afternoon a friend of mine, Björn, who has
another 68 footer back home came down to join us.
We took of at a half past nine and the sky was
justy amazingly beautiful !
Wow.
And it is very obvious that we are getting further
up north now.
So bright even eleven o´clock in the
evening.
It is only dark down here in Germany for a couple
of hours.
Can you imagine how it is up in
Stockholm.
The sun hardly sets at all, and now with the fuoll
moon !
Man I´m longing to be home now!!!.
Well today we are sailing in the poring rain again
tacking our way up towards Denmark.
At least we can sail again after all these hours of
motoring.
Half tank is consumed now, wich means about 330
gallons of diesel up till now.
A little bit than what I expected.
But we have had extremly much headwind and no wind
so we had to push it to get home in time for midsummer.
That´s life. :-/
Well I think that has to do for now.
No pictuers today.
Simply because there is nothing to take pictures
of.
And you all know how we look by now, right?
:-)
Have a very good day to you all, and we´ll be in
tuch later.
