A quick prayer to the weather gods...

Được phát hành: 12.07.2023

We are now on Fehmarn. However, the mood has reached rock bottom. The weather is

1. bad, lots of thunderstorms and constant rain

2. during the day mostly not as the weather service had predicted, especially not the wind

Even our sailing neighbors curse the 'strange sailing season'. This poses some problems for us. The heavy rain last night was too much for our old darling, it leaked in some places. And since it is absolutely no fun to drive in pouring rain, the weather restricts us and we cover too little distance.

Now we are considering rethinking our Stockholm plan and maybe 'only' sailing in the southern region of Sweden. The area there is super beautiful, it would only be half the distance and would take a lot of pressure off us. This way we could also spend a day or two in a harbor and enjoy our time overall.

At least there is something positive to report: the radio works (and scares me again and again with sudden announcements about construction work in the Fehmarn Belt).

Tomorrow we will continue to Denmark.

Little sailing knowledge: How does it actually work in the harbors?

The harbors are basically comparable to campsites. Before entering a harbor, it is best to do a little research about it (depth, piers, etc.). Usually, the harbors have a navigation buoy and a fairway, similar to a highway exit. When we are in the harbor, we keep an eye out for free berths. All green-marked places can be occupied. Red vacant spaces must not be used. Among sailors, it is customary to mark their own spot in the home port as green when they are away for a longer period of time. This gives others the chance to find a free spot and allows us to find places in other harbors. After mooring, we pay a mooring fee, which usually costs around €20 per night in Germany. This includes shore power, but showers may still cost extra at some harbors.
