Norderney is a long established and sophisticated resort. There are plenty of serious yachts here including a collection of very thirsty looking racing powerboats. We have now become quite used to being the only British yachts in the harbour.
Bonita was designed by William Crossfield and built in his yard at Arnside, Cumbria in 1888. This occasional blog describes some of her adventures - including her 2013 and 2023 circumnavigations of Britain and her Baltic cruise of 2016.

Norderney
There were light winds today so we mostly motored from Borkum to the island of Norderney. The heavy swell from the north seems to have settled after a few days of quieter weather. We saw several porpoises - or maybe they were dolphins; they look very similar in the water except that dolphins are larger, which doesn't help much if you don't see them together. We had a torrential rain shower which blotted out visibility just as we were coming into Norderney harbour but otherwise all was fairly straightforward.
