Upon arrival in Delfzijl, we registered in the Delfzijl Marina and motor boat association "Abel Tasman". The dock master raised the Canadian flag in our honor. People here are extremely friendly, and helpful.
Various ex mariners (sea going captains) came to our boat to advise us as to when and how to go.
We have to be patient as we are having fairly high winds and the route we have plotted takes us through the German bend "jammer bocht" (the miserable bend). This is the south east corner of the North sea and we have to take it in order to go north. There is a possibility that we will take a route through north Germany and decrease our distance on the North sea, however this will take e few days longer. We will wait and see what the weather is like tomorrow.
Stay tuned.
