Kirsten and I were up around 6:00, Kirsten for a short swim, me a few minutes later. For the first real kayaking breakfast it was coffee (black for me), crisp bread with butter & cheese from our individual caches. Bit by bit the younger people got up & had their stuff.

The tent was very wet, and Kirsten applied the sponge to somewhat drying it. The wind was doing its part as well. But things will be a bit damp for a while. Read more…

The decision @ 8:00 was to take one of the First Fleet to Celle and buy a flotation device. Was ready to go just on 9:30, found the place, had a look through the rack and chose a model for around €169.

Then it was time for packing. Section by section was worked through as the fridge defrosted and everything that wasn’t frozen was consumed. Around 1:00 it was time for a shave and a shower, then the bags were collected and weighed (it was another 24 kg). The flat was put into absence mode. About the only things I forgot were adhesive tape and plastic bag binders. At the last minute I discovered that the concluding screw of the gimbal way not packed away so I packed it in somewhere but have yet to discover it. Read more…
