Greifswald Wieck is on the coast. Greifswald is 5 klm up the river, we stayed in Wieck in a box mooring. Box moorings are 2 huge posts banged into the water about 1 1/2 boat lengths away from the wall, so as you drive In between the posts you place a long rope over each post then move up to the wall and then fixing 2 more bow lines to the land, there by the yacht is suspended between the posts and the land allowing easy access via the bow. All very easy but there is any number of things that can go wrong, this time the posts were only 3.5 M apart we are 3.8M wide luckily the posts are in mud and can be forced to open enough, side winds also can cause problems. We are here with two other English yachts. We are at the coast and the main town of Greifswald is 5 kilometres inland, we are here for 3 nights and have enjoyed 2 barbecues with the others in the harbour masters garden. We also cycled both days up into town along a very good towpath. Greifswald is the home of Hansa yachts one of the worlds largest manufacturers of yachts. Greifswald town has a lot of old Hanseatic buildings with there distinctive facades, a lot of these are coffee and lovely cake shops, so very easily we sent quite some time in this town.
