very nice pictures, that chance was maybe one of the best to see the kiel canal
(north-eastsea canal on german by the way) from water side - the little lift under the bridge is a very nice thing - i see it every time when i'm coming from flensburg.
also that picture of the lurrsen yard is nice - i've seen some yachts like St Nicolas there
oh and: what yacht have you been on?
looks like a bigger yacht
