13º C overnight and still
raining when we left at 8 a.m. Mike wanted to move, he wasn’t happy with the
parking. We overtook Rosy within a few minutes of setting off and we lead the
way again. Loaded boats came past us about every twenty minutes, among them was
an 80m boat from Dĕčín in the Czech republic. I made tea and sat out under the
brolly with Mike. The weather was appalling. Some of the cruisers going past
had mast headlights and navvies on,
which couldn’t be seen until their boat was very close to us. Mike wondered why
they did that and came to the conclusion they were car drivers with boats, not
boaters at all! Two cruisers were on the new 100m mooring at Rühen by the café,
one left before we got there and the other left as we were tying up. It was
10.15 a.m. The new mooring had lots of little bollards half way up the cabin-roof
height piling and lots of ladders for access and rings on the top of the metal
edge. The bank above was covered with purple rocks, another mooring that’s not
kind to Fanny’s poor little feet (the mooring the night before was on a landing
covered with
metal mesh, which hurts her feet so Bill has to carry her). Mike
unloaded the moped and went off around eleven to get the car, 12 kms away by
water - but a far longer distance by road (18 kms), calling at a post office to
get stamps for us and some for Bill too. He left the engine running to get the
batteries really well topped up as it’s F1 day tomorrow, so we won’t be moving.
I put the PC on. The new inverter wouldn’t work the PC while the engine was
running, so I had to run it on Handy Mains. When Mike came back he said the
voltage was too high – all I needed to do was slow the engine down! After lunch
the rain had eased off to intermittent light
showers so Mike put the moped back
on the roof. Pleased to find we had all the UK satellite channels back now we’ve
crossed the old border into West Germany.
