Since there was little to no wind and the inbound lakes were a little shallow for our taste, we decided to head right for Swinemünde that day. Sadly, we could not sail the Stettiner Haff, or at least not much of it, because wind was almost facing us. We entered the channel towards the Baltic sea meeting the ocean ships for the first time. Ferries from Denmark and Sweden were intimidating. We left Swinemünde, hat good wind slightly behind the beam. The boat was going fast and nobody on the water. We were thinking about an instant night sail – than the wind died. Swell was still there and Benni felt confident to just drop anchor although waves and wind were facing towards land. Throwing the anchor and just went to bed. It was a noisy and “rolly” night, but we got some sleep and we didn’t drag anchor… luckily!
