| From the mooring at Minden |
14.9º C overnight. Much cooler. Cloudy and breezy, with
sunny spells. Set off at 8 a.m. backing out from under the stern of m.v.
Schulau. It was very quiet first thing, not many cruisers or commercials about,
but it made up for it later. A Dutch pusher pair went past, an 80m boat pushing
a 67m, both loaded, being overtaken by an empty German 67m. The wind was
getting chilly so we both put fleeces on. We
noticed that the Polish boats
seemed to be going further west (and some Czech ones too) as we were overtaken
by a Transbode-9 from Wrocław at KP66. An empty Dettmeer tanker, No87,
went past heading uphill. The Wiehengebirge hills came into view directly in
front as the range of low hills got closer to the canal at Bad Essen. At 2.30
p.m. we moored at KP 61, Bad Essen, on a 50m long piling (on the sloping end
again), behind a German cruiser, whose occupants sat on their top deck looking
down us while we tied up and never said a word. Rosy came alongside. Unloaded
the moped and Mike went to get the car.
