We are back in Kappeln, this time moored at the waterfront city marina. It was a hard decision, which of the 35 spots to choose as they were all empty. I really wonder, why there are not more boats around yet. Well, plenty of small fishing boats hunting for hering at this time of the year but hardly any sailors.
Our sea trails and Susan’s vacation are coming to an end. The journey continues and a new adventure is going to start shortly.
After quite some rainy & relaxing period we returned back into the Schlei Fjord today. We dropped the anchor for another night stop before mooring into Kappeln tomorrow lunch time at high waters. Some ‘‘To Dos“ on the list.
It was a mixed sail today from Årø to Sottrupskov, where we dropped the anchor for the night, or maybe longer.
Sunny spells hand in hand with drizzling rain now and then, April weather in late March. Erratic winds gusting up to 30kn on the nose handled by a motivated crew while tacking into the Als Sund (via lunch ⚓️ stop-over into Sandvig) kept us warm and on our toes.
It took me a while until I accepted to give up some valuable storage space for a questionable washing machine. It will, no doubt, add important autonomy, which was first ranking on Susan‘s wish list.
The job has been completed today by passing the system integration test run without surprises. The only surprise is the noise level, extremely low.
