Day 75, Spitz, AT – Marbach, AT

logbook 25 08 05

The official journey is over — but we’re still moving, still documenting, still listening as we bring the ship back home. The crew has changed: Gigi and Stephan have left; Markus and Christine remain on board, heading upstream with a changing cast of artist-friends. The logbook continues.

The day started foggy, but we decided to start the engine early. Just half an hour in, we had to admit defeat – visibility was too poor, and it felt too risky to continue. So we took a break and waited for the sun to break through.

Somehow, it feels like Austria is offering more nautical challenges than the entire 4,000 kilometers we’ve traveled down and back up the Danube so far.
