Day 3 from Potsdam to Brandenburg

Thursday, May 21, 2021

77 km, 2 locks

From Potsdam, we continued to Brandenburg, a scenic journey along the Havel river with many small and large lakes and a moment of panic. We were looking for a spot to have breakfast and anchor there, but on the way there, we briefly touched the ground, which resulted in a hard stop. But no problem, Michael calmly put it in reverse gear after a short curse and we continued. In Potsdam, we passed right by the new city palace, very worth seeing, it took a long time to build. We had a lot of sun with strong wind, which cost me my hat, it is now resting in the Havel, maybe the coots will find it. We arrived at Havel Marin in Brandenburg around 4:00 pm and enjoyed the afternoon on the harbor terrace. We spontaneously decided to walk 3 km to get a COVID test in Brandenburg, and afterwards we had dinner with service and everything👍 In the late evening, the crew was expanded with Dirk, he will be with us until Tuesday.
