Crossing the Müritz

Went for a lovely cycle to Rheinsberg and came across these cute sculptures , mermaid, Neptune theme.


Left Fürstenberg with Anette and Frede heading towards Müritz, to our surprise and delight what should we find hidden behind the securing pole in the lock but a nest of swallows! Must be a very stressful summer for poor mother swallow as the lock is filled and emptyed countless times during the course of the day. Nest is not in the water but boats continually around them.

Hygge time in the wheelhouse, Anette and I spending some time painting, Frede and Knud chatting and reading


Not the brightest sunniest day but that didn't stop the intrepid mariners. This photo shows us leaving Kline Müritz lake and heading onto the Müritz, this is the largest lake in Germany about 25km long and at the widest spot a bit over 10km so a large expanse of water.

The wind picked up, white caps appeared , spray breaking over the bow!

So much for my freshly cleaned windows, they got a good second rinse , in fact entire boat had a good wash

Crossed the Müritz, then on across the Kölpinsee, then finally found a sheltered mooring on the Fleesensee at Malchow, looking out from the wheelhouse after that afternoon could hardly believe that we had experienced such rough conditions earlier.
