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.
