After leaving the Netherlands at Delfzijl harbor we went to the German mini port Greetsiel.
As the windforecast indicated 5 Bft for the coming days we decided to move to the island of Juist to avoid getting stuck in Greetsiel. Not that Greetsiel is bad but one day was enough for us.
Sailing the Wad means taking the tides into consideration. If you don't know the Wad you should read the 1900 spy novel "The riddle of the sands" by Erskine Childers. Or look for the 1979 movie with Michael York on Youtube.
As can be seen on the photo our boat is stuck in the mud during low tide in Juist harbor.
