A hot day in port

Monday 14 May

We spent the day in Stralsund, and my crew took a long, hot walk to the supermarket REWE, in which their favourite wine had been discovered in Travemünde. Sadly, this branch doesn’t stock it, but they still needed a taxi to bring all their purchases back to me. Skipper had managed to find a bicycle tyre to replace one of his that seems to have been cut by something he’s ridden over – even though the salesman spoke no English. Finally, he filled my water tanks, with very expensive water.
