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.
Today was beautifully uneventful. Honestly, the most dramatic storyline in recent days has involved our onboard toilet – but don’t worry, I’ll spare you the details. Let’s just say this: it’s currently working, and that alone feels like a small win.
Aside from that, we spent time harvesting tomatoes and simply going about the day. Spirits are high as we prepare to welcome guests in Ruse tomorrow evening. Quiet days like this are rare – most days tend to be unexpectedly intense, full of small adventures and fleeting impressions. So we’re embracing the stillness while it lasts.
