Laundry day with harbor cinema and a fully locked island highway

Today is our last Port Day in St. Pieters Port sein. After Katja all bunkered 1 Pound coins has turned into the Laundromat in fresh linen, 'Summer' was once again transformed into a clotheshorse. The weather was beautiful, Sun and wind did the rest to. On the neighboring ship you had followed our example. But the difference was stark… We hung on one of the lines about. 8 fresh underpants and Mrs. neighbor only 4 on the same length. Man waren das Zelte 🙂 Parallel zu den häuslichen Arbeiten im Schiff begann dann draußen das Hafenkino. Meaning, the water ran one progresses tide in the harbor, the water level is above the threshold (Bar) was already 1.70 m and the first smaller boats with shallow draft already drove out of the harbor basin, to drive new targets in the distance.

….. there was suddenly a bang, which went to the bone. I almost fell off the washing-up brush from my hand and then we saw the mess. One older Dutch couple sat in the cockpit of their 14m large yacht and has a good piece full tilt on the threshold set. Klaro did not work any differently, because the ship has at least 2m depth and standing water for each well recognizable only 1.80 m above the threshold. From our own experience we know, what it does for a blow, if you have basic contact with stones. All the greater was the astonishment, than the senile button no 5 Minutes later with undiminished speed of all ansetzte to the horror and amazement for the second attempt. A soft grinding and scraping was the result, after the keel was then replaced and the ship was stuck crosswise in the driveway lying. With much fanfare and back engine power the ship came free again. Incredible! The skipper was the calm himself and pretended it would all this concern you. At least he had after the action all the laughs and everyone's incomprehension on his side. In the third attempt 15 Minutes later it went well. But the guy has learned nothing! He drove with significantly excessive speed through which the anchor mooring field on the open sea. I hope we never meet again the! But 100 Punkte für ein klasse Hafenkino 🙂3

In the second half of the day we then had a nice experience during our trip by bus in the westernmost part of the island. On the return journey the bus stopped suddenly in the middle of the “Island Highway” an. What we saw, has really amused us……
