The excitment is mounting. Andreas x 2 are nearing the end of all their work preparing the boat. The new electronic gadgets have been installed, a second autopilot is working, the canvas maker is surprisingly also coming through plus lots of spares, medicine etc is being stowed away. On Sunday we are going to Glückstadt to haul out and have the bottom cleaned after 4 month of basically not moving. On the 26th of this month we are then going to Holland to be ready to be shipped to St. Thomas. Our „sister“ boat Mamelie who will do the next 12 month together with us in the Caribbean and Canada has already left with a: „Bye, we are now on our way to Alaska!“

An uneventful trip back to Wedel. Thanks to our friendly neighbour Carsten we even made a good docking maneuver.

Together with Ann and Klaus we sailed from Wedel to Baumwall. Joining Mamelie for dinner and drinks we enjoyed the activity in the harbour and takled to many of the Rotarians that have come to Hamburg for our AGM. 25.400 of them.

In two days, unfortunately with a lot of motoring we made it from Haderslev to Hamburg. There the 2 Andreases met up with us and we went through all the improvemnents, repairs and spare parts we will need. Already Andreas Tempel has made great inroads into the to do list. There are no major things, G XL is in great shape but a lot of little items need some TLC.

The season is about to start. On friday we pick up GUNVØR and hope to bring her all the way to Hamburg. The plan is to get her ready during the summer and then she is off to St.Thomas by freighter in the fall.

What an amazing South Sea kick-off (&birthday) party, see pictures. The sign up rate by the 160 guests for the cruise 2019 – 2022 was amazing. Might have to extend the trip by a couple of years. Thank you all for coming.

Believe it or not, but skipper has managed to make it to 60. Hurray. On Saturday we will have the big „Back to the South Sea Cruise“ party. Captains dinner with dinner jacket, long dresses and lots of good food and drink. South Pacific here we come.
