Day 66, Danube km 1806, SK – Bratislava, SK

logbook 25 07 27

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.

We started our day passing through the Gabčíkovo lock. After that, in the canal, there was only little current, and we could really cover some distance – and that’s exactly today’s plan: to make good progress.

By evening, we want to reach Bratislava to welcome another crew member for the final stretch: Karin Kasböck, artist and professor at the University of Arts Linz in the new program Plastic and Environment.

Until then, we’re practicing knots with Eva and Andreas – there’s always something to learn and do on board.

Our mooring spot in Bratislava was perfect – we were practically tied up right next to a harbor bar, which is exactly where we ended up spending the evening.
