Dinghy!

Ever since we bought Onbekommerd, almost 5 years ago, we have known that there was an inflatable dingy lurking somewhere under our berths in the front cabin.
As we have been anchoring a few times recently and are planning to do more of that next year, we have been thinking it would be useful to have the dinghy available to go onshore whilst at anchor.
So today we dug out the parcel we knew contained the dinghy and also located the pump and the oars. Then we unpacked the thing, expecting something like a toy and a bit touched by the 'tooth of time'.
Surprisingly, we found a really nice Zodiac inflatable dinghy in excellent condition, with nice wooden oars. Just the seat appears to be missing at the moment. I rowed around a bit (pictures to follow later, sorry we are still in Bagenkop with a dicey connection).
All in all a very nice surprise which brought a smile to our faces!

Earlier we had given Onbekommerd a good clean with soapy water. The deck, which had a lot of algae stains on it, is looking better and better. The salt water plus regular brushing seems to be effective in fighting the algae, something lots of expensive bottles of 'teak cleaner' have not been able to do.....

It was blowing quite a bit this afternoon, but it's dying down now. The forecast is still good for a trip to Kiel and into the canal tomorrow. We plan to leave at 7am.
