Five days ago, it is now, that life has changed radically back on board. The boss has again taken over the helm of your return. Gone are the days of the life Lotter! The pleasurable monotony in the composition of the fridge contents consisting of yogurt, Fried egg, Lindt chocolate brown / white and 3 different varieties investors beer is a much more varied range of rabbit food (Salads), Vegetable Cheese, Wurst usw. given way. The rest periods are of 02.00 Clock in the morning to good home 23:30 been brought forward. An outlier has yet been, that was a nice barbecue with Ralf, Kerstin and the two adult “Children” of the SY Lothlorien. Our sailing friends are a bit yesterday morning then hopefully with good winds back further than broken up towards the end of the holiday home moves for the family closer.

One of the extremely sympathetic experiences and acquaintances, which we were allowed to make here is that of Mr. Penguin. No one knows exactly how it has slyly the friendly gentlemen to Brest. Every morning greeted us the slightly mangy-looking fellow with a loud “quaakkk”, that the tone here is reminiscent of a large frog with a sore throat. Upon closer research on the internet Katja has our friend “Alk” and thus can be identified as a penguin. Only a female we can not discover. But whether this means happiness or sorrow for our friend sprung, weiß nur er allein 🙂

For over a week, a lot of action is all around us offered. Hundreds of young people of all nations and sporty appearance bring right next door every day your surfboards water and then gather on the open water, in order to discharge your races. For over a week, the World Championships are held here in windsurfing for teens. It's great to watch, the high level water sports are practiced here. Of course you fight and struggle for medals. But the sporting competition in the foreground and not the world political events. Evening celebrating the young people of France, Japan, Russia, Israel, USA usw. then their successes with each other in fellowship and peace. Class! Not, that we here in time, in which we wait for our friends from the SY MENTOR before we depart for La Coruna / Spain together on Sunday, had spent in vain. The slogan is still: every day a good deed, or? My interpretation of it was, pay a visit to the local yacht chandlers every day. Just yesterday I was once again “Friend of the day”. It was the lad is happy as the extremely massive theft protection for our outboard motor gone in my pocket. He literally said “Man, today was a very good day for me” (freely translated from the French). His joy was not surprising, because I would not know how many years he part the (Non-seller) has been dragged through the inventory. Previously I had gelöhnt the repair for the engine SY MENTOR and the mooring fees for both yachts (paid). My bank will certainly be surprised once again, what the Henke so all drives with his credit card. 🙂

Yesterday afternoon we saw something brilliant. A man has two “Water Jet Nozzles” strapped under her feet and a 80 Hp jet ski has urged by a tube connecting its water jet through the nozzle. The guy has a height of just over 10 Achieved meters and even beaten so Saltos. If it would just not always taste so good to me, I would also like to have a go the. At my weight, but would have a 130 PS Gerät herhalten 🙂

In the afternoon we were still in Brest and have the castle of Brest naval museum visits including. The castle was a very massive fortress-developed, which has the coming of the lake attackers prepares powerful headache.

My personal highlight was issued a German U-boat there from the 2 World war. It was in the year 1944 of the type “Seehund” 600 Produced piece. Supposedly, the U-boats were very seaworthy and highly successful! Es war 7-8 Days with 2 Crew and with 2 Torpedoes in the Atlantic on the way. These were men!

The increase over the “Seehund” to the third power was a floating torpedo with a man / woman crew. The part could not scuba diving and the “Captain” could aim only by a glass dome. If he at his destination “knocked” has, the number was also over for him. Respect for these heroes at sea! These boats are unfortunately no longer produced, otherwise I would certainly as one in the “Garage” stand. There were times, I would be only too happy once in one or the other comrades so “knocked” 🙂 Aber diese Zeiten sind seit gut 7 Monaten vorüber 🙂 Morgen am Sonntag wollen wir es wagen. It is planned, that we are to 9:00 Linens casting of lots and to our first real “Blue Water Adventure” break up. With Course 209 We leave degree France and sail directly over the famous / infamous Biscay (Bay of Biscay) La Curuna not (Spain). We will ca. 3 His days on the road and get a feel for the first time the long Atlantic wave under the ship. Let's see, whether we will accompany dolphins and if the depth gauge at 3000 – 4000 Metern Wasser unter dem Kiel seinen Dienst quittieren wird 🙂 Die Wetterbedingungen sind gut, the woman is in a good mood and our SUMMER chomping at the bit anyway. We will not adopt Mr Penguin front and then the journey begins! We will get back then when we arrived. Hi there!!!
