Rendsburg

Today on Friday 20-aug-2010, we started from our harbor in Kiel at 08:45 to make sure to get trough the lock (da/no: sluse) which opens at sharp 09:00 (German precission). Compared to Nordic boat locks, this one much wider and longer, while the water level change on some 10 cm or whatever is not recognizable. During the rest of the Kieler kanal, we don't passing any locks before entering Elbe close to Brunsbüttel.



We continued our good work of increasing the quality of Zephyr today, when we found and repaired some of the electricity going through the mast. Even the marine repair companies do fail (sometimes too much).
Rendsburg is really a nice city, as well as the marina here.



Our evening today was almost magic sitting in this warm nice summer weather under the newly installed bimini eating shrimps and drinking cold white wine.
The traditional competition for guessing the correct sailed distance was for second day on row wan by Christian, which Bent suggested was not so important to mention in this blog…
