⛵️…Transition…🚴‍♂️

In Germany, Sweden

After 1 year,  5 month and 11 days our Lofoten Adventure comes to an end, starting in Dún Laoghaire/Ireland ending in Svineviken/Sweden. In other words, 530 consecutive days on board, with the exception of 10 nights leaving The Lady behind on its own. We feel, an intense but extremely rewarding time lies behind us.

We are happy to take a longer break while drawing plans up into the air for the next season. The focus and theme of our next Boating & Biking Adventure shall be slightly different.

I am now in the saddle, southbound, to improve our CO2 footprint even further.

Chapter closed.

After more than twenty years I got my cross country skies and shoes de-dusted and back onto the trail. As an absolute beginner we went back to Bernau this morning to try out the 2.7km Hof-Loipe, an easy track in the sunshine offering classical and skating at the same time. It is very well suited for my level. No doubt, a long way to go but good exercise and fun.

My favourite sport remains biking.

Today paradise was just a 40 minutes drive away from home. Some snow under blue sky up in the Black Forest were another Christmas gift granted to us and we decided to return to a place, which we visited many many years back but has never slipped our minds – The Krunkelbachhütte lies above the picturesque village of Bernau at 1294m altitude. Great place to rest & enjoy.

We can take a few more of these days.

Crossed many bridges on my logistics ride today under chilly conditions.

The year‘s end is close and we enjoy some quite quality time in the Black Forest. 2024 was of cumulative nature.

Torch Tour Delights 😋

A bit of a crazy ride today driven by an early appointment in Mainz. What started off with the torch and low expectations was totally turned around in no time by a homemade decent piece of “Schwäbischer Quarkkuchen“ and foggy flakes within opening blue skies. No doubt, autumn remains amazing!👌

Fall 🚴‍♂️ Riding

Despite the sky not opening up at all today – although promised by the weather gurus – I jumped on the bike again to enjoy another fall 🚴‍♂️ ride. It took me partly along an old railway track converted to a bike path. Quite nice la.

There is more to explore in this lovely wine region.

Bob, the bike mechanic from The Cycle Hub in Dún Laoghaire did a perfect job, not only in servicing the bike with his magic hands to become a “non-friction“ machine but also by packing it properly into a box for the flight. No damage.

My booty was getting itchy and the weather supported me to better get my act together: unbox, assemble, test ride.

Looking forward to some more bike trips during my extended stop-over in this lovely wine region along the Rhine River.

Boating & Biking, a perfect match!

In Germany

Shortly after Susan has hit the road to get Troll Oh home I did throw the lines and left Kappeln.

A bright and sunny day has been forecasted and thus even more enthusiastic fishermen and women decorated the Schlei Fjord.

The heading was given by the sun with the outgoing tide finally pushing us back onto the open sea.

Stopover Kappeln

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.
