The weather was favourable at 6am so we made an early start as we had a 60 mile journey ahead of us. We had a fantastic sail with winds of 15 Knots from the North East making perfect conditions for a broad reach and the cruising chute. This was the first time it had been out, so a little unsure how we would sail but it instantly increased our speed with a maximum speed of 8.6 Knots!
A perfect days sail was made even better by being accompanied by a dolphin for a short part of the trip and brilliant sunshine. Then after a bit of a nervous approach to the marina with very little water and alarms ringing everywhere to say we had actually run aground we managed to get ourselves into the allocated berth.
The day was topped off with a few German beers and an XXL Currywurst and chips. What more could you want.
We are grounded tomorrow morning as a few alterations are needed on the boat before we leave The Baltic.
