Ulrike and I started the Swiss national day with swimming and blueberry picking and sightseeing ruins. After that successful start we enjoyed breakfast with Ulrike's freshly baked "Zöpfe " for the occasion. Lovely!
The guys went fishing again and shortly before noon we set sails in strong gusty winds with it on our nose. So our day consisted of tacking where required especially getting out of the way for a car cable ferry. Antonio, Ulrike and I exchanged helm over our 5h sailing in winds that made the lines whistle! The last bit leading back to the canal with the turning bridge we motored fast and managed to be the last boat for that opening!
Finally at the harbour I had reserved the opposite spot to usually #11. When I turned into it we got stuck first between the bollards that were a lot narrower than on the opposite side. We had 5 Australian boats across on the pier that helped pull us through having had the same problem with their chartered 45er!
Now we went and enjoyed a cappuccino and bulle first. After that the guys prepared their fish to have as a starter and then we went and had a great dinner at Knorring again.
Absolutely great last sailing day with my awsome crew!
Now cleaning and washing is on, but the washing machines do not all have power, shucks!
