Two Sleepy Sailor Boys...

..moving across the big blue sea on Jennifer's gently rocking lap. Add a bit of sun and fresh, salty air and you are ready for a little cat nap.



Bye Bye...

...Germany!



Baltic Sea Sailing

After yesterday's slow canal cruising (under 10 bridges and passing 14 canal ferries) it will be nice to set sail again. We are planning to leave Holtenau (pop. 5.200), which is a district of Kiev (pop. 250.000) at 10 AM today. Since we are ahead in our sailing schedule by 24 hours, we will  make a stop on Bornholm, Denmark. Sailing time will be approx. 30 hours to cover 175 NM.

One UK yacht was moored next to Jennifer last night and she was still there at 7 AM when I took the photo below. Jennifer is visible on the far left side.


Holtenau Garden Art

On my way to the food market at 7 AM this morning I found some creative pieces of art along the way. This little walk also helped me to get warm after a cold nights sleep (+4 C) at the recreational craft berth next to the Kiel Canal lock. 

Since I was up already at 6 AM, I could hear when the harbour master suddenly knocked hard on Jenner's hull and demanded the overnight fee of 11 €.
