The following day we had only little way left towards Stettin. We crossed from the “West Oder Canal” to the real Oder river that was now deep enough for our keel. We entered the Dabie Lake. Those Marinas in Stettin – huge. We had suggestions from the WSW where to go to put up the mast – hopefully for long. We found that place and considering it was the Friday ending east Germanys holidays, we were pretty lucky that we could do it right away. It went all good (a little different than in Berlin) but well. The harbor master that operated the crane was super chill and after we were finished, we were allowed to stay until the very night to finish up the boat. With a standing mast we were able to rebuild solar and wind generator in the aft. Benni was constantly trimming the newly set up mast. We were so baked from the intense heat that we had to consider staying. But we decided to go out to the lake Dabie and just throw the anchor. It was super calm and freakin 30°C at 9 in the evening. We swam, we took pictures and we knew: Now it was on.
