The party here in Rostock and Travemuende is over, every hour another participating sailing ship leaves the port to head for home or to another sailing event. We stay just a little longer because tonight our new guests will arrive: youngsters from the Netherlands are underway now with a touring bus and will arrive this evening. They will accompany us on our way back to the Netherlands, via the German port of Flensburg near the Danish border where more sailing events are planned for the coming weekend.
The following journey this report will be published on a daily basis (as far as is possible). The stage will be for the youth on board who will be organized in watches and report the adventures that lay ahead of us.
