Since we were planning on going to Helgoland again we needed to test our guests seaworthiness… and also looking at another Island would be nice!

Hooge again and a new guest
Now knowing where the stones are we cut the timing even shorter getting into Hooge. In Hooge we swapped our Father Grandmother guests combi for a younger model from Australia.Welcome Kathy to our little story đ
Back to Oland and old friends
The main text will still be provided by couchsurfers đ But here is my side: Coming back to Oland is like visiting old friends. I knew all the people and already arriving in the harbour the first exchange with the postman on his little ship was if I came here every year.This will be myContinue reading “Back to Oland and old friends”
Fetching guests AKA nothingness in SchlĂŒttsiel
SchlĂŒttsiel is a harbor made for not staying in it. Missing infrastructure like toilet and showers make you be a bit inventive. My shower was my cooling box filled with tap water and hot tap water. My toilet was my toilet… Never been that happy to have one. I stayed two days here to fetchContinue reading “Fetching guests AKA nothingness in SchlĂŒttsiel”
Gröde AKA the little hideaway in the green
Time to leave the ILEF and go to an even more deserted space. Hallig Gröde is the next stop. I left before sunrise to get out of the ILEF and then tacked up against the wind and current for a few hours. Managed to stay over 5kn all the time.. Good TARDIS⊠I arrived abitContinue reading “Gröde AKA the little hideaway in the green”
The ILEF AKA public safety matters
Well with me being alone now I might as well embrace loenlyness and find a spot outside of a marina. The ILEF is the biggest Priel on Langeness (biggest Hallig as well⊠name basically means a lot of houses… ) . It is a small dock to unload stones like once a year but youContinue reading “The ILEF AKA public safety matters”
Oland AKA the best of the Hallige And some couchsurfers way to land
He is the real one. What time is it now? Five in the morning. Where it was deep at night, in the morning we managed to get stranded, which we were now trying to jump off. Jerk. Another jerk. One and a half meters. We can assume that got out. It will be deeper furtherContinue reading “Oland AKA the best of the Hallige And some couchsurfers way to land”
The perks of leaving Pellworm
At night, we lit a very old, 30s oil lamp. And we became ourselves a light house that lit the way forus in the evening. Sebastian says that we should be perfectly visible from the shore. Sleeping in the sea is a special kind of pleasure. If you are not swayed (read – lucky), thenContinue reading “The perks of leaving Pellworm”
Husum to LĂŒtt-Moor… Pellworm
Rustle sails. Sometimes fur heads appear in the water. Later we will see a huge number of them in the shallows of the North Sea. At what point did our southern voyage to Portugal turn into an expedition on a sailing boat on the North Sea? It is hard to say. Silence look like weContinue reading “Husum to LĂŒtt-Moor… Pellworm”
Pellworm to Husum, new couchsurfers and a lot of seals
The way to Husum you can take a little deviation going around a few sand banks where tons of seals reside. So many we didnt even take pictures but one… Oversealed I guess… On the last part to Husum the wind died.. completly.. Not a single movement on the water.. If you have ever seenContinue reading “Pellworm to Husum, new couchsurfers and a lot of seals”
