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 the day watching a kingfisher. Today, we only had a short distance to cover. We headed to Apatin – the last Serbian town we’ll be stopping at – for some shopping and a night on land. We’re all really looking forward to it.
After so many days anchoring in the middle of nowhere – in pure nature or in industrial wilderness – any excursion to a town feels like something special. Time to put on the cleanest clothes we can find.
All day long, Croatia was off our port side, Serbia to starboard. Two countries, just 500 meters apart – and yet, they feel so different. Unfortunately, there’s no way for us to visit the Croatian side, as the only option to check in and out is in Vukovar – so we just watch it from a distance.
The river holds us in between – between countries, between routines, between shore and water. Just moving forward, like always.
