The second half of the Kieler kanal was finished on sunday, with a straight head wind in the river Elbe and down to Coxhaven going by mainsail and motor.

We arrived Coxhaven in heavy rain and low tide. Monday morning Bent had been awake and out for investigation of the harbor while the rest of us still had a good sleep, and he announced that the harbor restaurant had a excellent breakfast buffet to offer, even though we had our fridge full of good food. Bents suggestion for the buffet won - and was really a nice experience.

| Wilma and Koos in No-X |
Wilma and Koos sailing in "No-X" did we first meet in Rendsburg, and now later in Cuxhaven where we're all stuck in the port because of the strong winds out in the sea. We have had a really good company with our new dutch friends here trading Christians gourmet dinners, with some great sailing programs for our PC's including professional GRIB layout program (ZyGRIB). The plan for tomorrow, Wednesday, is to have a crew meeting together with "No-X" (Koos and Wilma) and the German neighbour boat. As the weather says right now, its looking good to depart at noon and we are all going to the same destination Nordeney. The navigation precision is increasing even more tomorrow when Bent is picking up another new GPS for more accuracy in our navigation.
