In this episode we sail from Brunsbüttle to Cuxhaven in Germany but we had not one but to disasters when docking first when we where about to move to the fuel dock in Brunsbüttle and one when we arrived in Brundsbüttle. We try to describe the situations and draw some lessons learnt.
We are a middle aged couple that has left our hectic business lives to go sailing with our boat Fridá af Wisby and our cat Litza.
The sailing in our home water the Baltic Sea is part of our preparation to sail to the Mediterranean Sea.
Anders has been at the sea most of his life and sailed for the Swedish national dingy sailing team as a young man. Gitte has also grown up with boat and spent every summer sailing with her father as a teenager but made a pause of about 15 years without sailing as an adult, had just begun to pick-up the interest before she meet Anders 4 years ago. Onboard we also have our cat Litza a 3 year old Devon Rex we call her the cattain because cats always decide over their humans.
Fridá af Wisby is a Wauquiez 47 pilot saloon that we Gitte and Anders bought in UK in 2019 and that we have sailed to Gotland and in season 1 2020 we sail in the Baltic Sea. Now we are going south towards the Mediterranean Sea.
