on holiday: just saved some norwegian sailor souls
While enjoying the holidays at the beautiful northsea isle "Amrum" and going out for a smoke two hours ago I just noticed a boat in the dark about 200 meters away. It didn't seem to have a right driving direction and was just near the ferry port (look at the map).
So I thought it's better look what's up and just took my bike to drive to the ferry port. After 2 minutes I arrived and asked them if I can help.
Fortunately they could speak english (bad if you're a sailor and can't) and they told me that they don't know where the sailboat-habour is located (they didn't have high resolution sea-maps with them :[)
They asked my to come on board and help them. Ok, did so and asked for a lamp to show them the way (it's just a few hundret meters but a very dangerous terrain if you don't know it because of many sand banks and tidelands).
In the end everything went well, the norwegian crew arrived save at the harbour and they gave me some irish (tripple distilled) whiskey (they actually came from great britan).
But I don't drink whiskey at all :)
