Without Wind aim – Day 4 and 5 nach Gran Canaria

0

Apparently we had consumed over the last three days our entire contingent of wind for this crossing. Eventually it was then no longer be prevented: we had to recover the genoa and start the machine. At 2 to 5 Knoten Wind brauchten wir uns auch über unsere Leichtwindsegel keine Gedanken zu machen 🙂 Das ist sogar für diese zu wenig Wind.

Since our autopilot with no wind so can steer a course close to the wind, we had now time to think of something again. Somehow, our good Hydra yet again be convincing, to steer a compass course?! And really, after a reset of the system and wagemutigem Click through the entire menu (we had nothing to lose) standen plötzlich 225° Steuerkurs auf der Anzeige 🙂 Somit waren wir für die restliche Strecke von 300 Nautical miles from “Rowing-go” befreit 🙂 Jetzt konnten wir uns wieder ein bisschen entspannen.

But inaction is nothing for my captain. So finally the watermaker was tested. Without murmuring and Zicken this began work and produced about 55 Liters best drinking water per hour. Just as we had expected even when the long time proven H2O Factory quality. Soon our tanks were all refilled and wearing the 5-liter water cans from the supermarket now has an end.

On the evening of the fourth day we had then finally land in sight: Lanzarote was found just before sunset.

Die Temperatur in der Nacht war angenehm warm und der Himmel klar mit vielen Sternschnuppen 🙂 Trotzdem war es keine ganz ruhige Wache, because the land near took the amount of tankers and freighters again clearly. One last time we had on this trip carefully keep your eyes open. Our installed in Vilamoura AIS course had us a great help. It's great, wenn die Technik funktioniert 🙂

We were pleased both very, as the next morning Gran Canaria appeared in the haze ahead. We also passed another large group of dolphins, which could not be disturbed at her breakfast.

Around noon we moored at the reception jetty. For the 698 Nautical miles, we have pretty much used five days. When we left the boat, traf uns der heftige Seegang an Land doch recht unvorbereitet 🙂 Solche Seebeine hatte ich noch nie gehabt. Since I was happy, when I finally safe sitting in the chair during the registration. The crew of the marina in Las Palmas was very friendly and helpful. We had requested in advance, if it would be possible, to get a place alongside on a web or Hammerhead. With the narrow yacht stern and the windvane it is very, very difficult, to come back from board. Unfortunately, our mail went missing somewhere in the system and so had to be now searched for a solution spontaneously. There was finally still a nice spot for CESARINA short Sidebridge to A- und Aussteigen für uns 🙂 Souverän bugsierte Dietmar unser Schiff zum ersten Mal rückwärts in die doch recht enge Box. Endlich angekommen 🙂

After we had the CESARINA desalted extensively, it was time for a snack in the Sailor Bar.

On the way we ran Jörg Drexhagen from maritime radio stations on the way. He was also reached grade, to his work from tomorrow (Installation of SSB radio equipment) take to the ARC and ARC + boats. Aber heute hatte er noch Zeit für ein gemütliches Bierchen 🙂 Und nächste Woche stehen wir ja sowieso auf seiner Liste. It really is time, dass wir wieder eine funktionierende Kurswellenanlage an Bord haben 🙂

 

 

Next on track close to the wind – Day 3 nach Gran Canaria

0

During the day the wind shifted further and further towards the west and later even towards southwest. So we had our CESARINA go to the wind always higher, but up to 35 ° which really was quite possible. So far, we are only half-Wind- sailed or downwind courses. Of the good sailing qualities of our new “At home” we were very impressed.

The wind blew all day with pleasant 15-20 Node, but it was not a quiet and relaxed sailing day. In the early afternoon of the first Squall pulled with more than 35 Knot winds over us. It should simply be no nice crossing. After our Kutterfock got a long crack in the early afternoon because of fatigue, we ran only under Genoa. After all, we were making good progress. Also, the second and third Squall let us rather cold. Leider segnete unser Pinnenpilot vor Anbruch der dritten Nacht das Zeitliche 🙂 Die Squalls sind wohl doch zu viel für den Guten gewesen. Now we stood there without autopilot and still had two and a half days and over 300 Nautical miles in front of us. A nightmare !!!

But necessity is the mother of invention. Somehow we had to carry our “Hydra” (new pet name for the autopilot)get back up and running. After the first reset Dietmar was able to convince them again, to steer a course close to the wind. For a map course but we could not persuade them. For the coming night so we were on the safe side. How it should go further, when from noon tomorrow no wind would blow and we'd be on the road with machine, We were waiting to happen.

Neat Wind from behind – Day 2 nach Gran Canaria

1

Finally it went peppy in the right direction. In pleasant 15 Knots of wind we continued in the afternoon also the mainsail and ran with seven knots towards our goal.

Our Tiller was quite strained throughout the day. Again and again he got from ordinary seawater showers, he coped with not very good. So Dietmar had twice already need to replace a fuse after a short circuit. Particularly annoying was, that the Good simply silently quit the service, to give one last alarm signal from without yet. As our CESARINA actually sails at good trim of the sails almost by itself as if on rails straight, the withdrawal of Tillerpilot was noticed until the next violent gust. Das war immer etwas stressig 🙁

Gegen Abend durfte ich wieder als Erste in die Koje 🙂 Sehr zuvorkommend, the captain. But against twelve I was by myself awake again. Outside, the wind howled in the rigging. That sounded not good and we had the mainsail still above. After some back-and-forth, we decided, it to recover despite the adverse conditions. So we packed our fast and waterproof in our oilskins and equipped with lifejacket and lifeline we started to work.

The problem in our mainsail is firstly the size and on the other hand, the broken Lazy-Jacks. (For non-sailors: Lazy-Jacks serve, to keep the sail after the lowering in more or less folded form the top of the mast, so it does not blow around on the entire deck.) So the sail must be considered when CESARINA after lowering necessarily be fixed with sail bands on the tree. That's when a lot of wave a not quite simple and also not hazardous undertaking. Normally I can support Dietmar from the cockpit, when the reliable Hydra (our autopilot) the controller acquires. But that was not possible this time yes, since the Good somehow still spit out error messages. So Dietmar had to fend for themselves and he did his job very well. Nevertheless, we were both safely, that we did not want to experience a second time. On Gran Canaria new Lazy-Jacks or better yet a Lazy-Bag are high on the to-do list. And even as our beloved Hydra would receive a check through their paces.

The rest of the night was marked by several thunderstorms, which fortunately passed by but around us. Clearly you could see on the horizon the lightning and the lightning. At home on my couch with a nice cup of tea, I find storm really very nice to look at, hier draußen aber gehören sie nicht zu den von mir bevorzugten Wetterphänomenen 🙁 Gegen Morgen war der Spuk dann aber endlich vorbei und der Tag begann deutlich friedlicher mit einem tollen Sonnenaufgang.

 

Go to Gran Canaria – Day 1

0

If you know the captain a bit longer, then you know, that there is no holding back, if his “Port ceiling” fall on his head.

So we started on Friday afternoon despite clearly uncomfortable weather conditions. First, there was no wind at all in the game and from the afternoon we should get a lot of strong wind on the nose. Since we had thought us, first to go under motor south, thereby testing the watermaker and then easy to sail a blow towards the west at the onset of south wind, until the wind on Saturday morning finally would allow a direct course to Gran Canaria. Soweit also zu unserer Planung 🙂

Directly after leaving the Marina, we had already suffered the first setback. Although the new navigation works just fine and our AIS could really help us see ships in distance, but our autopilot – Hydra 2000 from B&G – had been angered by the new components probably somehow. Instead obediently to compete as at the last crossing his service, produzierte er nur noch Fehlermeldungen 🙁 So nahmen wir direkt unsere Windpilot-Steuerung mit dem Pinnenpiloten in Betrieb und erfreulicherweise funktionierte er ohne irgendwelche Probleme. So the journey could yet go further, because 650 Nautical miles without the autopilot we would not want to travel, nor can. A bit queasy us was two but still to Mute, so without any back-up with a yet untested system. That was not a good start for this crossing.

Contrary to the forecasts we had until the early evening and pleasant sailing wind good and so we set sail and moved the premiere of the watermaker to a later date. Then, when the south wind began, we were centered in front of the large traffic separation scheme, which runs along the Portuguese coast. So we had no chance, simply turn off westwards. When sailing Eight have to cross traffic separation schemes as possible at right angles. And it was a lot of traffic. Wir wollten ja nicht unter den nächsten Tanker geraten 🙂 So mussten wir unter Maschine kräftig gegenan halten und im Schiff fühlte es sich an, like on a roller coaster. Because in addition to the wind on the nose came the wave directly from the side – optimal conditions, to be seasick.

So I left the field, and Dietmar pulled me into our berth. Although it was not quite as bad and placed for emergencies within reach bucket remained unused, but from the feel-good sailing we were really far away. Thus, Dietmar had to fight alone through the night and actively monitor the wind pilot and possibly. correct. Only in the morning put the longed Northwind and under sail came finally some peace into the ship. After looking at the distance traveled, we were quite disappointed. If we continue to move forward so, wären wir bestimmt eine Woche unterwegs 🙁

 

It's time, to move

In Vilamoura, the season is coming to an end. In the evening it is also already very cold and the local Portuguese packaged in jacket, Scarf and boots. Holidaymakers get cold feet slowly in our flip flops :-).

Start the restaurants around the Harbour, the sun terraces to make Winter Festival. Now you can sit inside rather than outside. Various shops have closed their doors already until the next year and our supermarket, He reliably provided us with bread rolls and croissants since end of August, next Sunday will open the last time this year.

KHX_3366

The amount of promenading along the harbour tourists has thinned considerably, and everywhere the autumn mood to feel, Although during the day, the Sun is still their best.

KHX_3321

After more than six weeks of hard work our time in the Algarve is coming to an end. Much we did, but still a long way, not everything is perfect. Das wird uns aber nicht aufhalten 🙂 Heute wollen wir die Leinen loswerfen und mit unserer CESARINA in Richtung Gran Canaria aufbrechen. It is clearly time, turn your back on the European mainland and the coming autumn. Für diesen Winter haben wir sonnigere Pläne 🙂

KHX_3399

Even if the three weeks in the Canary Islands will probably again quite busy, We look forward to this time. Because in addition to the work on the ship, We meet many like-minded people, who want to dare the leap across the Atlantic with similar target.

The next four to five days so once again, we are at sea and will test and try out, What we have improved in recent times on the ship or changed. The crossing is so to speak our small dress rehearsal for the big blow across the Atlantic. But we feel well prepared: The fridge is always well stocked!

The space it is almost difficult, nur Lebensmittel für vier Tage zu stauen 🙂 Heute soll der neue Wassermacher seinen Dienst antreten und uns mit Trinkwasser versorgen. Our wind control system has its first usage on this crossing. Hopefully she will take over as safe and pleasant service, as our "Liselotte" (Nicknamed of the windvane steering on the buzzer).

Whether we safely and well have stowed everything in the boat, will show. Although it is not the first trip with the CESARINA, but this time we brought our entire House booth.

Everything is so new and unusual. So we need to find surely some new processes and routines, to make life on board smooth and relaxed. But what we did once, We also once again succeed. Und beim zweiten Mal geht ja bekanntlich alles viel schneller 🙂

For the CESARINA, this crossing is the first ride under German flag. Since the 12. October is registered officially in the German Maritime Register. We now have a new call sign "DHKG" and an associated new email address at sea: dhkg@sailmail.com. (As usual: No images - only text. And please do not press "Reply", but writing a new mail). But at the moment we are still not as usual, Since our shortwave facility, with which we otherwise the emails and weather data receive / send, will be completed only in Gran Canaria. Until then, we bridge with our full elite phone. Unfortunately, it is clearly upwind and even more expensive than shortwave. Aber es ist ja das letzte Mal 🙂

For this reason, there will be no blogs on the site during the crossing. I wear the collected works after then but after our arrival. Our Internet address www.summer-sailing.de and we will keep the private E-mail addresses despite the new vessel. If your us on www.vesselfinder.com looking for, will you find, We have now a new MMSI: 211 70 59 40. On www.marinetraffic.com to this day, are we not listed. We don't know why. Hopefully this will change soon.

Portugal wants to let her live us

Lunchtime, we ended up with a lot of luggage as planned in Faro and later deposed us a taxi to the Marina. Been still busy on the CESARINA, sowohl innen auch als außen 🙂

By the rains in the last few days were the work on the deckhouse unfortunately significantly behind schedule and thus we come away from here in the direction of Canary Islands. At the earliest on Tuesday the carpenters could be finished when weather would play with. Thus, we got the impression, dass uns Portugal einfach nicht ziehen lassen wollte 🙁 Aber auf die paar Tage kam es jetzt auch nicht mehr an und wir fügten uns in unser Schicksal.

Auch die Programmierung unseres AIS wollte am Samstag nicht im ersten Zug gelingen 🙁 und es stellt sich heraus, that a plug was defective. This is of course even better, as if the entire antenna would not work. But it was still annoying. Since today we are but at least www.vesselfinder.com again to find online. While we still lack a beautiful photo, but that I will furnish any day. Sorry, no images are accepted in portrait orientation, so ein Pech aber auch 🙁 Morgen steht also noch ein ordentliches Foto-Shooting auf dem Programm.

Otherwise, the last days have been determined by the weather. Portugal presented itself further with an awful lot of rain autumn. It was great for us to determine, that our repairs were crowned all along the line of success. No more water in the ship, which was previously run by improperly mounted bracket of the liferaft in the interstices of the ceiling and walls. Each cabinet and each compartment – absolutely dry. A great success, of a very relieved wellbeing below deck. One might not always think about it yes, in welchem Schrank das Wasser jetzt gerade wieder irgendwelchen Schäden anrichten könnte 🙂

If we do not continue assorted things below deck and verräumten, was finally time again for a good book – almost like the German Autumn. In the now completed equipped kitchen there was also quite excellent cook and also it was now once again time. Our pressure cooker, which is unused for Grömitz with on the trip, durfte endlich in Aktion treten 🙂 Ich muss gestehen, I am but until then been very suspicious. So far I had not used such a device. Not, dass ich das Boot in die Luft sprengen würde 🙂 . With two 11-kilogram gas cylinders on board the buzzer, the incentive was, To save gas by the use of the pressure cooker, always been too low. So I had to push myself successfully before use. Now we have but “the only” two 5-kilogram gas cylinders available. That had me motivated, the first goulash “under pressure” prepare. Although I had decided, prefer to watch my pot during cooking with distance from the salon :-), but the result could be really. So I'll experiment from now on continue. Especially the cooking times are purely a matter of practice. Until I've got the hang of it, We are probably still several times mashed potatoes instead “al dente” essen 🙂

In order to keep the list of open work on Gran Canaria as low as possible, haben wir heute morgen noch einmal für zwei Tage ein Auto gemietet, denn Einkaufen kann man ja bekanntlich auch bei schlechtem Wetter. Und alle haltbaren Lebensmittel, die wir jetzt schon gebunkert haben, brauchen wir in Gran Canaria nicht mehr zu kaufen 🙂 So sind schon größere Vorräte an leckeren Obstsäften und Süßigkeiten unter Deck verstaut. Die muss ich nur noch vor dem Kapitän schützen 🙂 Nicht, dass ich auf den Kanaren wieder von vorne anfangen muss 😉

 

 

Congratulations, Mrs. Henke……..!

“Congratulations, Mrs. Henke!
As of today you are married with a paint brush”

These were the words of our English sailing friends David and Ann, When they learned of the purchase of the CESARINA. David sailing all his life and has to observe over the last several years in the seemingly endless painting of the CESARINA staff of the yacht service in Angra/Terceira. Exactly but I wished so that. A new project and a new full time job with a “meditative” Side effect. Such a classic you can just buy and then put your feet up. You must work out ships of this type, to own it someday. For that you get something, What has a special charm and good for the soul.

Good 6 Weeks after we picked it up from the Azores, can we say with pride, We have hinbekommen everything quite well. In gut 4 Weeks as planned we can cross the Atlantic and sail in the Caribbean.

It was interesting to watch, What does this boat on the personality effect. The workload and the amount of work to be done was very large. In addition there were also still quite a few surprises, that would have been previously easily enough, me like a HB male through the ceiling to let go. There were special moments, as Brian, the boss of the Carpenter, came to us and said “I have bad news for you” and so a special facial expression got.

First he told me, that the teak deck is due to revise. After his rough estimate is well 1000 Meter sealant, that must be removed and new name. A work, the 4 Craftsman would employ for a month. Well, What's it all about?, I just thought and started, to order me the necessary tools for this job. Because I am looking forward now to the moment, When I'm done and our CESARINA again a piece is perfect. The problem is that while still not solved, but by this point of view I'm staying relaxed and feel pretty well.

A few days later, then once again a “I have bad news for you”. A further investigation of the bodies one of the Carpenter has determined, that there is something wrong between Fiberglass and teak building. Water! Then slowly the layers when he started with the chisel to pay off, ran out of the water just out of isolation. Again this strange feeling started to grow. Instead of being disappointed or resigned, I was looking forward, We have excellent professionals on board, are available in the solution of the problem facing the US. The joy on a positive end result and a more perfect vessel is greater than the negative feeling of pain or disappointment. It's nice, When you have people at his side, you trust them and support a, If there are thick.

These kind of messages were not isolated. Nevertheless they have can never really spoil the mood us. Us was clear from the outset, that we have chosen for a ship, that takes a lot and really also required in all other respects. But it returns very much. Me such feeling and consciousness to something very special call my own. Or the feeling of satisfaction, When the wood after painting begins to glow and literally radiate natural beauty. How many times I sit in the cockpit and enjoy the sight. Interestingly it is not just me alone, but also other people, that I'm on the ship in the conversation.

I'm always happy, When Katja with light eyes others our boat shows. Also, not a day goes by, When anyone passing by comes or goes and picks the thumb. Das macht mich schon ziemlich froh 🙂

A friend has a guestbook entry (and an equally successful businessman) written by us: “It's been exciting to read, that one also without “Objectives”, Objectives can have, you are to live…. ”

That is increasingly aware, If I am just again unhappy with the situation, because things don't go, how I want it. The subject “CESARINA” with all the drum around told us in the last 4 Months so a lot requires. But just to look forward and to try, all odds to overcome, has brought much positive with me at the end of. I love my wife even more for everything, what she did for us. And I have come a bit closer in the ways my inner peace, I succeed always better, just to keep the feet still.

I would like to just continue to discover the beauty of our Earth with my Katja, and lead a beautiful life. And on our CESARINA, which is in my opinion of one of the most beautiful ships, die ich jemals gesehen habe 🙂

Fully befuddled

1

Solvent vapours are not completely foreign to me as a chemist, But today I had a smell experience of a special kind.

Because the weather should be worse this weekend and even rain was announced, had I made me for Saturday, to paint the kitchen cabinets from the inside. Directly after breakfast, I turned the Interior of the CESARINA so again in a battle field, because it had everything back out from the cabinets. Finally everything was empty, was I really impressed with, how much space our new pantry (ship german cuisine) However, bot. Diligently I started, to grind and clean surfaces. I wanted to experience again so not a fiasco like in my first attempts of painting . Everything was prepared, I put the 2-component varnish and began after the wait respect to by 10 Minutes to swing the brush highly motivated.

Actually, the work went me quite easily by hand, but the depth of the cabinets made bothers me a little. The Cabinet underneath the worktop has an impressive width of over a meter more than 60 Cm depth. There, you must creep already in blending, If you want to catch all corners. So kämpfte ich mich hustend im ekligen Gestank durch die Tiefen der Schränke und war nach kurzer Zeit völlig benebelt 🙁 Bald war im ganzen Schiff die Luft so dick, you could cut them into slices. Airing was not possible due to the heavy rain. I had planned this so super – about the odor problem I had made but at all worry me. Und gerade ich sollte es doch besser wissen 🙁

Good, that the MIELI was still with us at the pier in Vilamoura. Emil und Marita gewährten uns Asyl inklusive frischem Kaffee 🙂 Als ich nach vollbrachter Arbeit etwas später zu der Runde stieß, rümpften the three short nose. Anscheindend war ich im Moment eine wandelnde Geruchsbelästigung 🙂 Also verschwand ich schnell unter schnell noch unter der Dusche.

Auch das Abendessen musste heute nochmal außerhalb der CESARINA stattfinden 🙂 Kochen wäre ja auch schwierig gewesen denn die gesamte Einrichtung stand ja noch im Salon herum. So we enjoyed a delicious sushi from Japan us still even four. When we in the evening back on the boat were later, the solvent plumes were already as good as gone, and nothing in the way was our night's rest.

 

An invitation to dinner differently

0

For the evening we invited Emil and Marita from the SY MIELI to us for dinner. After a busy day, it looked but already very dignified in the ship. Also in the pantry, not much in the way was preparing a dinner for four people. So I went in the afternoon on the way to the supermarket, to complete our dinner. I had planned meat skewers and a big salad.

I had done the planning but without my back-ill husband. In the afternoon, it was virtually impossible him, to find a position that is convenient or painless. Sit, Standing or lying was more about no pleasure. Especially sitting in our salon gave him problems and knapp 10 Minutes, before our guests arrived, had he hobble over to the SY MIELI.

Aber wir wollten das Essen natürlich nicht ins Wasser fallen lassen 🙂 Das Cockpit der MIELI hatte sich seit gestern zum absoluten Lieblingsplatz meines Ehemanns entwickelt. Here, he was always a possibility, to be able to sit at least a short while without pain. He already had our salad in the luggage, and I could meet a little later with the finished skewers. It was still a fun evening, different than planned, aber die beiden waren ja flexibel 🙂

 

 

Separate bedrooms or the revenge of the buzzer

0

Apparently the time comes in every relationship or marriage at some point, in der getrennte Schlafzimmer gefragt sind 🙂 Das war bei uns jetzt auch der Fall. It sounds now but much more dramatic, When it was really. It was not about marital strife and irreconcilable differences :-). No, which was a totally different cause underlying.

Last Saturday, Dietmar and Christian had, the new owner of the buzzer, the SUMMER with their brand new cover securely “packed”. This was tailored it perfectly on the body and was therefore also like a glove. Attached was around with many hooks and straps on the Seereeling. And to properly install these attachment lines and clamping rubber, had to “Man” under the tarp on her hands and knees crawling, with the weight of the heavy canvas in the back. So Dietmar complained after work on Saturday evening over severe back pain. Apparently, the last occasion had used the SUMMER, and be Avenged on the unfaithful captain. Da konnte ich sie wirklich verstehen 🙂

So we left the Sunday only once quietly go and hoped for improvement. Unfortunately, it was instead better still worse. Heat ointment, Also no relief of the torments brought pain pills and hot water bottle. Forced almost idly next to a huge mountain of work to sit, deteriorated Dietmar mood with each passing day, He went to the country. Well intentioned advice, Finally a doctor to consult , were heard but still beflissentlich. Only on Wednesday after a made by night despite high-dose analgesics , When really nothing at all went, My captain made his way to an osteopath. Our RAYMARINE specialist Janusz raved about the man as a true “Faith healer” and let it not take therefore, Dietmar personally there to go. With so much crush you will healthy almost while listening to.

While the two were, I went on the way, our ordered rental car pick up. Still on the way, I received the message, dass der Kapitän nahezu wieder hergestellt sei 🙂 Nur einmal schlafen und morgen wäre er wieder wie “new”. It sounded very promising. Quite so rosy as described, not the State of health of my dear husband but then developed but still. When I in the evening loaded with the purchases from the hardware store at the port came to, had I wear but better once alone all reasons on board. Did I like to do, I wanted to say yes miracle healing way.

So it went better much him the next morning. But it was very important, due to the fast and careless movements, again to destroy this fragile condition. In the afternoon our coffee pot then made all the progress to niece. Spoke with someone while Dietmar on deck, had I placed the jug with the coffee residues from the breakfast next to him on the bench, so that he could dispose of the coffee grounds over the side when the call. I believed, that he had perceived me and also the jug. Well, believe is as you know don't know. And a short time later the pot and any remaining coffee ended up on the cockpit floor. That would have been not so bad, but when you try, to prevent this, heard an unhealthy and loud resounding crack in the back Dietmar. Now, he could no longer move.

Dinner with Emil and Marita by SY Mieli, today came from Albufeira to Vilamoura, to visit us, He took brave yet behind it, but a subsequent glass wine could no longer imagine Dietmar. So again heat ointment and pain killers on the troubled Cross and go to bed. Ich verbrachte noch einen lustigen Abend mit den Beiden und trank einfach Dietmars Wein mit 🙂 Als ich zurück auf die CESARINA kam, I decided, prefer to sleep in the living room. Dietmar rolled from left to right and with a width of berth 1, 40 m eh no place would have been there for me more free.

The next morning we were both sleepy and tired. The pain had robbed the sleeping Dietmar and unusually narrow bed without me soft mattress. Because a speedy return to common bed in the course of the day was all the more improbable, I set out, Finally the forecastle to dispel. Here we had still a comfortable berth, buried under all the things, yet no new space in the ship had found. Aber nach zwei Stunden hatte ich mir einen tollen Platz für die kommenden Nächte erkämpft 🙂 Das sah wirklich sehr vielversprechend aus.

20151009_210132_resized_1

So Dietmar could cure on his back alone and with uninterrupted sleep on the wide mattress, and I couldn't find even a good night's sleep in the forecastle. Manchmal sind getrennte Betten nicht die schlechteste Lösung 🙂 Trotzdem freue ich mich darauf, When my dear husband is healthy again. Denn eine Dauerlösung ist das zumindest bis jetzt wohl noch nicht 🙂
