Went to Darsser Ort by bike. An emergency harbour, much fought over by nature conservation groups against yachties. We did not dare to stop here.

On to Zingst (seaside spa with a pier). Spent a few days there and descended below the waves in the diving bell!

Sure you got it: cranes.

Autumn

Saturday back SE to Ralswiek on the Großer Jasmunder Bodden. Wonderful names. Discrete abode from 1893 for a Lord Douglas. 1945 taken over , now hotel.

Morning moment on Witte, Saturday.

Sun, so out with the bikes. Discovered extension to marina at Kloster (North Hiddensee). The owner of the private harbour at Witte was not amused. 2.5 m Euro, 100% grant, but the local authority has no money for a gym hall. 

Gentle sail round to Witte on Hiddensee (island off NW Ruegen).

Two years ago there was an unfortunate incident at this very spot: the skipper dismantled his wrist. Have to go carefully this time. 

Saturday over to Sassnitz (Ruegen).

Plenty of east wind for the 50 odd miles.

What to do with an ex ferry port. Built a fancy footbridge. Did not appear to vibrate.

A useful weather tool for those who havenot already used it.

just as the tide was a-flowing

Still in Rønne (Bornholm). West 7-8 and ship's baby still on board.
So time to reactivate a few songs.
