We were welcomed by a thunderstorm but managed to jump off for a quick SUP! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679c08fe651ff9437ad4f7e0/c040ca74-4a61-4781-8e82-e3b3081ac238/PXL_20240722_132511911.jpg Journey - Germany The exit to the North Sea was a bumpy one with a lot of current but we didn't have to sail too long - we had a spot at Cuxhaven Marina to fuel up and food provision. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679c08fe651ff9437ad4f7e0/f754aa05-3d32-4587-b15a-0a1f8dc26602/PXL_20240723_173153066.PORTRAIT.jpg Journey - Germany We then sailed to Norderney Island and docked at another marina. Through the north sea, given the tides of up to 8m, we didn't have many options to anchor so we spent our days sailing from marina to marina - trying to manage the tides schedule. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679c08fe651ff9437ad4f7e0/3509b9a8-a4dc-487d-a0d0-970233964ae3/PXL_20240723_131238933.jpg Journey - Germany The days began to get very long here as we were rushing against tides and the weather - this meant most mornings started between 4:30-5:30am and 10-12 hour sailing days sometimes to get from marina to marina. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679c08fe651ff9437ad4f7e0/9ba914fc-de96-495c-80b1-80e12029dd01/PXL_20240723_075326322.jpg Journey - Germany It also started to get cold so our sailing gear came out of the closet! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679c08fe651ff9437ad4f7e0/cf027306-396e-4f57-9a29-35fc47362f7d/PXL_20240723_130653986.jpg Journey - Germany The beanies too! https://www.sailingtranquila.com/journey/france monthly 0.5 2025-08-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679c08fe651ff9437ad4f7e0/7fe84554-775b-4463-8c1c-8822adf7a673/PXL_20240822_081132397.jpg Journey - France Sailing from Belgium to France we had some early starts and cold cold days.
