"Mast diversity" in the Greetsiel cutter harbor - August 8, 2008 -

Hello Klaus,

you have created a very beautiful series, I like it!

Best regards,
Johannes

What a hustle and bustle... great photo.
With that number of ships, I would be completely satisfied.
Best regards, Marina

Many thanks to both of you for your comments.
@Marina: On this harbor side that day, you look through the masts of 12 cutters. For the past 4 years, we have been spending a week now and then in Greetsiel "to let body and soul unwind." Before that, I had never had the luck to see so many cutters in one day. However, the chances for such an occurrence seem to be increasing, as more and more fishermen are choosing Greetsiel as their home port because Greetsiel, thanks to the Leysiel barrier (which is equivalent to a lock), is almost freed from the influence of ebb and flow and especially the danger of storm surges. Currently, Greetsiel is home to about 25 cutters. Info: http://www.greetsiel.org/hafen/index.php

P.S.: I am already looking forward to the Friesengeist, which is served in Greetsiel in the old Frisian way.
Regards
Klaus
