Through
the English Channel
I now
know a place where I will never ever want to go back again, and that
is the English Channel! Oh my God, there were currents running
every-which-way, ferries rushing back and forth, and a zillion ships
all over the place. It was a miracle that we managed to squeeze us
in!
Although
after Dover Strait
the
conditions improved considerably, it was
a rugged ride altogether and we arrived in Brunsbüttel, Germany,
dead tired as neither of us had hardly slept a wink while sailing
through the traffic-infested waters. We were also a little upset as
our forestay broke in the Channel. To be quite honest, we could very
well have done without this additional delay in our already tight
schedule!
But, as
you know a good night's sleep can make a world of difference, and
this morning when we woke up and realized that we were soon about to
enter the Baltic Sea for the first time in eleven years, we felt
absolutely marvellous!
We'll
try to fix the forestay problem as quickly as possible and continue,
hopefully already tomorrow, our passage through the Kiel Canal
towards Finland.
