Ah, it is now down to the final days of the boy's year abroad in Luebeck, Germany. Last weekend was spent enjoying life at the beach at Tavemunde. There is a Sail Week 2011 in progress there. A huge event, much like the Christkindl Markets with booths and food, the festivities don't end for a full week. There are over 3000 sailors visitng with their boats and the activity is pure sailing pleasure and excitement.
Well, as you can see, times have changed and the beach beauties were out in full force. People of all kinds flock to Tavemunde for this fantastic event, and it is not uncommen to meet people from all over. The weather has been a little chilly so some people were wearing their heavier coats, especially into the night, although, there were some topless sun bathers out earlier in the day.
22nd July – 31st July 2011/ Travemünde
It started as a bet for some bottles of Lübeck’s Rotspon wine in 1888. Since then Travemünde Week has developed to become one of the greatest sailing events worldwide. More than 3,000 sailors from 20 different nations take part in the sporting event in Travemünde. Organisers expect some 1,000 ships and boats of 35 different ship categories. Travemünde Week is organised by Lübeck Yacht Club (Lübeck Yacting Club LYC), Hamburg Sailing Club (HSC) and Norddeutscher Ragatta Verein (Regatta Association of Northern Germany). Last year nearly one million visitors came to Travemünde Beach Beach to enjoy both the maritime sailing event and a great side programme on land.

Germans do semi nude sun bathing with no qualms at Tavemunde. These postcards were sent to us by our son, purchased on earlier visits.
Enjoy!
