On Saturday we finally said ciao to our friendly neighbours at the local sailing club of the Wannseeaten 1911 and went for a two hour trip through Spandau to the Wannsee in the south west of Berlin. Here our Rancho Relaxo of the Seas will stay on land during the winter.
The trip was short and without any events – it’s actually just around 3-4 miles, with one lock underway. The best part was after arrival at the Marina Lanke, sitting in the cockpit with candle light and Rum while listening to Robert’s crazy stories about trips with his Alpha or tall ships going through the North Sea and the Atlantic. Whew !! I wish, we could have sit there the whole night. But in the end it was getting a little chilly…
Ah ! – And to settle a bet: Kevin Costner’s ship in Waterworld was a Trimaran. Sorry, Wolfgang. ;-)
Righty right, I did loose the bet but covered my debts (well, a beer and some honor – typical male thing!) whilst sailing an IXY at some hidden lake on Nov. 14th through a shiny sunset. Definitely something to remember!
And Daf, thanx pal for letting everybody know about the bet! I owe you one…;-)
Ah, guess what! The weather was fine but it surely wasn´t the sun-set… rather than -down!
