We left Nordeney Marina early in the morning …
… with
our extra crew member, Caroline, being a figurehead! It’s a surprisingly comfy place to sit when
it’s calm …
But round
the corner we encountered the waves and white horses on the shallow sandbanks
off Nordeney …
… and
then had a rip-roaring sail along the coast past the Frisian islands, in fairly
confused seas left over from the recent strong winds. It felt rougher than it looks in this
picture!!
We were
passed by some big container ships …
… and
sailed past many large vessels lying at anchor in the mouth of the River Elbe …
Once in
the river the waves calmed down and we had a leisurely sail upstream …
… and
entered the port of Cuxhaven.
We went
for a walk and bite to eat ashore, and enjoyed the lovely, calm evening …
