Kiel canal - part II
More engine! But at least I reached the end of the canal and I am just waiting for the proper tide to leave in the morning.
Rinse and repeat! Another day on the Kiel canal, another day without much to say about it.
I got more comfortable pushing my engine a bit, so I went a bit faster. I could perhaps even have tried to force my way through the lock and grab the tail end of the ebbing tide in the evening to reach Cuxhaven, but I didn't, and instead I stayed one night in Brunsbüttel.
There, I crossed some Germans who stopped me and asked if I was from “The Swedish boat”. They were coming back from the Stockholm archipelago and had stayed in Marstal too. After talking about blues jams to see in Stockholm and exchanging nice places to see, we talked some more about music. It turns out that they were in Marstal at the time I was there and playing in the evening. That earned me a beer if I promised to play some more in this harbour.
I happily complied and stopped only for a moment to help one of these flat bottom Dutch boat with leeboard to moor alongside me (the harbour was kind of crowded in the evening).
Feeling small
I got more comfortable playing harmonica while stirring the ship with my knee as well.
Feeling minuscule in that traffic.
