On Monday we started, to make our Summer ready: All the beautiful things, Dietmar has shopped in his free time for our long journey, should be stowed so, that a life on board is possible again.
Fortunately, our Summer but more storage space than we expected and we managed to clean up already so far today, we our dinner (Fresh, North German asparagus with hollandaise sauce) could prepare back on board. The wonderful weather the last two days we were very motivated: Not only in the interior of the Summer you can move again, also prevails now in our locker finally exemplary order and the Sails are also struck again.
But is was not only diligent in the last three days. On Tuesday evening we were invited in Kiel with Ingeborg and Wolfgang, to get from experienced Weltumseglern a few valuable tips for the Caribbean. The two sailing since 43 Years with their STELLA MARIS on the world's oceans and have an infinitely large experience. Therefore, we have made ourselves yesterday afternoon on the way to Aerobatic Bay Marina of Laboe, there to meet Birgit and Franz from the CAYLUNA, which should be one of the party. They both have a 40 Foot catamaran, with which they want to break in July to the Caribbean. So we had the opportunity not only, to admire her beautiful interior of the ship, we were allowed to stay overnight, to us to spare the wide return to Grömitz.

At home with Ingeborg and we Wolfgang was excellent hosts and could in funny round many interesting stories from sailing in general and the Caribbean in particular, hear, which have definitely helped us.
Then it was back to the port on the CAYLUNA. We arrived on the big catamaran
so alone almost lost something before, but still have a great night. After a joint breakfast with Birgit and Franz, seamlessly joined to the 5-star cuisine dinner, it went way too early back to Grömitz.
Again many thanks to the four, it was a great time. When we come to the ship in Kiel on the way to the North Sea-Baltic Canal, we are very excited, See you again. Mit Birgit und Frank haben wir uns vorsorglich an irgend einem schönen Ort auf dem Weg von Deutschland in die Karibik verabredet 🙂
