Hallo! Ich möchte Euch auf meine Publikation in der Ausgabe 123 vom mare-Magazin „Sand“ aufmerksam machen: Ostsee-verborgene Fracht. „Die Ostsee ist ein ruhiges, kleines und bei Seglern und Touristen beliebtes Binnenmeer mit herrlichen Stränden und großartigen Naturräumen.

What has night to do with sleep?

Soon midsummer will come in Scandinavia. I have been in Finland a week ago where midsummer announces itself. The sunsets take longer, the light is warm and the mood is easy. I love it.
