Summer is here. Only he can behind the thick clouds, the day-, day out on the fjord pull away times barely visible. Okay, the sunny days in May were already top notch, but that would of made me go quiet for a while so…
Above all, have just started because my semester break. A physics exam is tomorrow before me still and I'm free again just two months. Student life begins to please me slowly. But when I go to the lectures, the street on campus 100 Meters to the harbor and go down to “Annabelle” climb, I would most like to cast off the lines at once and sail away. So it was on Tuesday: In the rain, I arrived at the port and saw “Annabelle” diagonal swim in their box, repeatedly beaten with a rear basket against the Heckdalben. A bowline was going on. About the causes I want to write anything, because the issue “Motor boaters vs.. Sailor” has been discussed often enough. What annoyed me but was, that the line well for quite a while was going on and there is no harbor master has bothered. He's just always there, If I forget, National remove my overnight: “…Next time they consume a crate of beer! Buy yourself time the book Seamanship“.
And somehow I wanted to sail suddenly only. How then to Maverick. Just off leash, Sailing high and low. On another island, perhaps in another country…

And when I sailed from the fjord minutes later addition, actually came back a bit on Maverickfeeling, controlled as the autopilot, I trimmed the sails and myself comfortable in the cockpit made Leebank. I could sail forever etc., perhaps 100 Miles, perhaps 1.000 Miles, Perhaps even more… Only the Memorial Heikendorf woke me out of my idyll aboard, let me take a turn and the light drizzle to sail back to my port. Even if it is not, I can leave these shores again for a while, I.

Wanderlust I also made a meeting last week Friday: I had been in December 2005 on the Canary Islands, a Swedish three-member crew, including Albin Vega (2 Boys, 1 Girl) made. Danjel Hendriksson (today 25) was with his two friends, Jonathan (24) and Kajsa (25) on the small Albin Vega “Sally Blue” (Year '68) on the way to the world. Sailing experience, the three at the start in Sweden but not too much, but a big dream. Painwe met at that time he only very briefly, I was already on his way to the departure of La Gomera, But now I found some 2 Months by chance their website (www.runtjorden.com) the Internet and could hardly believe my eyes: You just motorten through France on his way to Germany – and were actually once around, in only 670 Meet! We immediately went from a meeting and I met again after about three and a half years. A nice meeting!
Danjel wants to write a book about his journey, However, the first published only in Swedish is. I've already told him, dass ich dann jetzt einen Schwedischkurs buchen werde 😉

As far as first…
