We are back home. The weather forecast for the next week is miserable, and we had a fine sailing week. Temperatures of 15 degrees C during the daytime are not good for my Rheuma-struck hands and feet. We don't mind having that in the evening, or when we are in a harbor or just sitting hi and dry on a sand bank. Our Diesel heater does a perfect job of making the boat a cosy place. We did a lot of reading (I read Dan Brown's 'Digital Fortress"), and I did not have enough power to run the computer all day. Which made it a real relaxed operation. I could not prevent getting a few good ideas for pskmail though, so the next few days will be quite busy :)

We took all the stuff from the boat, as we can take the camper when we go next time to lay the mast and make water tanks and sanitary system ready for the winter. Then the boat can rest for 5 months on shore. We have decided to go early next year so we don't run into the time trap like this year. Plans are to visit the German tidal waters in May 2006 with some friends , and if the weather is good enough to continue to Denmark. But that's still some time off.

First we have to clear the mess we have taken home. You cannot imagine (we cannot) the size of the heap of clothes, books, shoes, radio gear, canned food, etc... our boat is hiding during the season...

I have suggested we just put all the stuff into the camper...
