After a great crossing with wind speeds of 3-6 Bf, we put in Kelibia in Tunisia. The Einklarieren is here, although many of us have warned of Tunisia, is relatively straightforward. "Che Guevara" We know a place at the old pier. Actually, we are glad to be here alone, because on the other side of the yachts are in Viererpäcklein. The first thing the police come and take their passports with the office, then comes the duty on the ship and has a long form ready. Man must specify how much alcohol and cigarettes have been on board, he sees our small stock (which is fine Italian wines, we have tucked deep down) makes all the details on the form in lines, I should say in weapons "no" or write? And then we had to all electronic equipment from the ship and down all the other ship is not connected to the property. The list was short, no cabinet has been opened, he asks us then because of an unfinished whiskey as a gift ... and they're gone. We are half an hour later the passports and the Transito brought onto the ship. The Harbour Master also appears briefly and everything is settled.

On Saturday we make our first trip with our bikes into town, 3 km away. Yes we really are in Africa. We will be welcomed, especially with new smells and sounds. We do only once a shopping spree to fill our fridge and want something back in the evening again to the center. The stores are open 24 hours!

When we come to the ship meets us almost a stroke. They've just parked our Whisper! and between the pier and we put a huge fishing boat. We packed only times the rage. What happened there? The fishing boat had engine trouble and had to invest there, to be later lifted the travel lift from the water. We inspect our Whisper and can find no damage, such as that made we do not know. Another sailor told us, however, he would have watched, and all were handled very carefully. Yes, once again lucky. We now move into the space of three parcels at the yacht dock. Since strong winds is announced tomorrow morning we have not gone our neighbors remain so.

We have to stay until Monday anyway, because when changing money at the ATM was just our first time at the map drawn directly. The bank has closed Saturday and Sunday so we have to stop by on Monday then.

With the outing tonight is nothing, because the wind is blowing at the moment here in the port with up to 30 knots, as we prefer to stay on board and see that keeping the lines. Something good has it, I've now finally time to readjust the homepage. Hopefully tomorrow I can upload to the Internet point to the text and images. (1 hour of internet costs 1 dinar, about 1 CHF).

With our bikes, we go on a reconnaissance mission. From the lovely Kelibia Ford has a great view.

We discovered near a beautiful sandy beach and make our way to swim. The famous mile-long, beautiful sandy beaches are supposedly the gold from Tunisia, since tourism is the main source of income of Tunisia. To our surprise, it has virtually no tourists here, the Tunisians enjoy the Sunday on the beach.

We'll probably continue to sail on Tuesday to Sidi Bou Said and then on to Bizerte. From there it is a night ride about 120 nm to Cagliari. At 12:07:09 we will visit there, Livia and Adrian. We are looking forward immensely to the reunion.
