North Sea weather

Getting into Cuxhaven was exciting after motoring really fast from the Kiel Canal
We arrived late and got up at 5 next morning to catch the tide to get to Nordenay in one hit.....60 miles


All went well for the first hour then thick fog descended and lasted all day


Thanks to my vigilant crew we arrived at Nordenay without trauma at about 9 in the evening. A long sail but worth the effort especially as we can now have a couple of days rest awaiting new crew for Bonita
We were even able to help a German boat with a conked engine...I know how the skipper felt.... !! We towed him into harbour where he was able to fix things overnight
Today has been a washing shopping and tidying day with a bike ride this afternoon
