Bremerhaven

Today was one of those days that things just worked.
We left Berdekesa at 9, got to the selve-service lock at Lintig half an hour later. Quietly down the Geeste (which seems to be getting rather shallow in places) to the Bremerhaven 'tidal lock' which was just about to open.
We decided not to stop at our 'normal' place, the rather grandly called "City Sporthafen" on the banks of the Geeste (not more than a few jetties that fall dry at high tide) but to go to the "Lloyd Marina" which is accessed through a lock. I called the lock on the VHF when we were 15 minutes away and as we arrived it was open and waiting for us.
It has been nice, sunny and warm all day, but now (20:30) it is getting cloudy and there may be a rainstorm.
For tomorrow, the forecast to go to Fedderwardersiel is excellent, so we'll probably be off around 1pm to make sure we can get into the harbour there on the high tide (the harbour falls dry).

There will be no WiFi there, so I'll 'accumulate' the post for the next day (Wilhelmshaven should have WiFi). One of our followers suggested I date my accumulated posts. That's a good suggestion, so I will!
This is a 'live' post, on 6 September!
