meeting with Mercur 205

Saturday, July the 11th



We start off up the river. Run aground (AGAIN!), well, they say you shouldn’t trust the charts on Donau, since the river keeps changing. A little slower this time though.



We start looking around and find a barge of 10 ships, it goes slower than we, but the skipper decides to hang on to them – they will move slowly but stable. We can hang on in ca 3 days, until 931 km, which should be somewhere just before Rumania ends.






The skipper of Merur 205 does not run aground although handling 10 ships (plus us) altogether 300m long.

The weather gets cold and rainy. Luckily, we do not have to stand outside steering in the night. We drink and sing inside.
