2018 #Sailing around England; the #Menaibridge near Anglesey in front of the #swellies. If you want to sail through here, you will save at least one day compared to sailing around Anglesey. Careful preparation is essential for the passage.

On our tour to #Scotland in 2022 we passed the #Limfjord to get into the #Northsea. A beautiful fjord with lots of fish and a few mussel farms.

The harbour of Bridlington falls dry during the ebb.

The harbour of Bridlington falls dry during the ebb.

On my 2018 sailing trip, I am travelling around England on the left. From Grimsby, we sail to #Bridlington on the recommendation of the harbour master. The #harbour of Bridlington is not protected from ebb and flow by a lock or gate. It falls dry.

Sometimes the Elbe is a difficult area for sailors. The interaction between large ships, sailors and fishing vessels sometimes requires a high level of attention.

I didn't expect so much #barnacle growth. At least the growth was easy to remove with the #biocide-free antifouling.

We had good wind on the crossing to the island of #MΓΈn. Overall, it felt like there was a lot of wind in the Baltic Sea this year.

You can also see the huge carpets of blue-green algae from the satellite. They tend to form in the Baltic Sea in August, as the Baltic Sea reaches 20 degrees in many places and the nutrient input from agriculture favours the growth of theese algae.
