When I woke up this morning I noticed that the water level at our spot in the marina was only 1.40 meters. Jennifer needs a minimum of 1.80 meters to be able to move freely. With our yacht firmly planted to the sea bottom I had time to walk down to central Lauwersoog (pop. 450). Ingemar and Tore joined me on the way for a bit of grocery shopping. Captain Lasse had already told us that our departure time today was at noon when the flood was in.
The main sources of income for people living here comes from fishing and tourism. Lauwersoog Marina is the home base for a large fleet of modern fishing boats. A large fish auction is held in the fishing harbour every second Saturday.
