Germany in sight!

Belive it or not, despite the detour north of Denmark instead of through Germany, we are finally here in Rostock, safely at shore in the industrial harbor.

It's a whole new world we bascily are getting to, the whole night when we went through the Great Belt, there where so many ships and so much traffic.... okay, it is the normal traffic, but compared to where I uselly are working, we are lucky to see a ship once a week.

The first... well... larger ship we saw... well... largest more likely, was one of the great Triple-E Maersk ship:

And Yes... the ship I am on, is simply nothing compared to that big blue whale, we could... be on it like 4 times atleast.

But it was far from the only life we saw out here... the first big sign on that we where close to Rostock, was the Scandlines ferry, that has a route called "Gedser-Rostock"... Try to imagine it, that ferry is older then me, and still doing her service at tip top!

But just as we where preparing the ship for arrival to harbor, we saw something you uselly don't see everyday at the German and Danish Boarders, and no, I am not kidding at all... A Russian ship, and it was pretty big, just laying outsite of the harbor.... luring... but it was a pretty ship, it is after all the Russian trainee ship "Sedov" what a beautiful sight to see that ship on our way in.

And as far I know, it is still the worlds largest sailing trainee ship in function today

When we got to the boarder of the harbor... well, I never feelt that populare before, there where people everywhere and on both sites of the harbor, taking pictures of our ship... probebly becuse of the red color and funny bow we have.

But wauw, I have to give it to the Germans, what a beautifull city you go into.

But they surely don't call it an industrial harbor for no reasons... when we went just a bit futhere into the harbor... the shiney city kinda.... became factories and more.

Hugh and lots of space in this magnificient harbor, I have to give the Germans that.... but then again... WHY!!! out of all places, why do we have to be a place where there are barely space enough becuse of a.... crane....

But wauw alot of officials guest we had pretty quickly when we arrived... first we had 5 police officers onboard... and then customes.... and wauw they must had have a bad day those guys from custome. Bad mood when they got onboard.... good mood when they left again... thats the pure prove of that you get a happy face onboard this ship. 

But there are some bad news though.... despite beeing a great day, there is always something on the down site.... I had to move out of my tiny room... to a much larger room... which I don't complain about at all... but I have to move back... as soon as the blacksmiths are done refitting the davits on the ship. It was a bit... too low.

But something tells me that the next couple of days are going to be good with lots of work hopefully.... instead of sitting all day long again here at the ISPS... which I am currently doing right now... sense we are after all in harbor again.

Signing off. While the wind blows and the air is hot.
