The passage to Sassnitz (30 miles) was pretty uneventful, we pulled up all the sail we had but not enough wind to power up Mr Blue Sky, so down they came and the iron sail was reved up. A very pleasant cruise which took us about 5 hrs around the east coast of Rügen, passing the white cliffs.
Sassnitz, the second largest town on Rügen with the longest breakwater in Europe, which we tied up on. A mostly commercial port in complete contrast to the previous Hafens, with a busy passenger ferry terminal to Poland, Denmark, Sweden & Bornholm (Danish Island 50 miles east). The North end of the is mainly fishing boats, with a commercial market adjacent, herring being a local delicacy is served every which way they can.
Mr Blue Sky sporting new fender ropes, this should ensure the wind doesn't blow when we're docking on stern poles.
