Still Borkum. Weather delay......

The plan was to move to Geetsiel or Juist yesterday, but in the morning it was alredy blowing well over 20 Knots and the forecast did not expect much improvement so we decided to extend our stay here by a day. After cycling the day before (which was nice), we decided to take the bus to the town as we had already packed the bikes away. Had a coffee on the 'promenade' and a stroll through the town where we also walked into the people on the boat in front of us who have similar plans to us.
This morning, the forecast was still quite bad with a wind warning and also heavy showers forecast. Now, at almost 3pm, the showers have indeed arrived and it is raining heavily with poor visibility so we are glad we decided to stay put, although we have seen enough of Borkum.
The forecast for tomorrow is decidedly better, so we live in hope. We'll go to Juist, just like our neighbours. The departure time, in order to get over the shallows, gets a bit later every day, tomorrow it will be around 15.30.
In the meantime, when the tide is high (like now), the waves penetrate a bit into the (otherwise quite sheltered) harbour and the boat rocks a bit. Lyn cant work on the laptop for a few hours as she gets a bit 'seasick'. But in a few hours the water level will have dropped and all is quiet again. Such is life on a boat!

Here are some Borkum pictures:
