Back in home waters - September 2nd

Had an excellent night crossing to Harwich in flat water and the best cabin on the ship, just a shame we couldn't make the most of the stunning view from the porthole.  Now we're battling the garden, and up to our ankles in windfall apples and plums, all of which have been bruised in a freak hail storm in our absence.  The hail stones also broke greenhouse windows and dented the bonnet and roof of our formerly pristine little I10!
View of a beautiful dawn over the Orwell estuary from Harwich.

Back ashore where we started at the end of May - August 29th

A successful and efficient lift out completed and we've given the topsides one coat of teflon polish and made time to cycle to the beach (a quieter bit beyond the beach chairs) for a very pleasant swim.

The old East German army trailer in use again with an almost equally old tractor.  The standard kit is very new and more posh.

Burgstaaken - August 25th

American bike weekend in Burg. (just a few of the bikes!)
Really hot today. Proper high pressure weather at last and just when we've ended our cruise!  But we've made use of the hot sun drying the clothes and washing the Genoa.  A short sail out of the lagoon and back in again was enough to dry it nicely and we had a late lunch on deck here in Burgstakken.  I like this basic, no frills marina.  It's small, it works and is beside the island port and fishing harbour.  There are still active fishing boats here and I have been told you can buy fish on the quay, but sadly have never seen this.  It's in full holiday swing at the moment and the boat activity is pleasure trips on various boats, from pirate ships to fast ribs, so not much P and Q.  The American bike weekend is starting tomorrow so we'll make a trip into Burg to enjoy the spectacle of middle aged, bearded men on their Harley Davidsons.

Burgtiefe - August 24th

The very busy beach, now deserted just before sunset.
It's very hot as it was at the end of May when I was trying to put antifouling on the boat.  So we had two pleasant swims in salty water underneath the chimneys of a large factory (is not an anchorage you'd visit for its beauty). We finally sailed off just after midday as we heard the factory lunch break siren sound.  A short upwind sail took us here, the big marina at the entrance to the lagoon where our laying up harbour is.  We have used the excellent washing machines and dryer to wash bedding etc which is why we came and have discovered the world kite surfing championships are here over the weekend, a big party judging by the advertised programme.  So we are hurrying off to the P and Q of Burgstaken tomorrow.

Fehmarn Sund (Grossenbroder Binnensee) - August 23rd

We've got here at last, against wind and tide until our final few hours when the wind veered to give us a reach into this final anchorage of 2016.
Sunday was a perfect sailing day, but we had a really good day with Gurli so had no regrets spending the day ashore.

Today has ended as our 2016 cruise began with a porpoise sighting and a gentle sunny off wind sail.  We've had a warmish swim in the 2.5m deep water in the evening light, enjoyed a chicken casserole and have a few days to do the laying up jobs.
