Die Mittwochsregatta am 19.06.2024 fand zeitgleich mit dem Länderspiel von Deutschland gegen Ungarn statt. Der Beteiligung der Segler tat das keinen Abbruch. Der Wind wehte aus nordwestlicher Richtung, im Bereich von 20 Knoten. Wer mutig genug war, den Genaker zu ziehen konnte die Wellen herunter surfen wie hier J-88 Nemo und XP-38 Roxy. Nächste Woche gibt es nochmal eine Wettfahrt vor der Sommerpause aufgrund der Warnemünder Woche. Wir sehen uns.

*READ CAPTION* We were travelling through country SA when we drove past a dead kangaroo (not unusual for this part of the world), it looked like it had been hit fairly recently, given the bright red blood on the road, so we turned around and checked the pouch. To our surprise, there was a (what seemed to be) uninjured, but likely in shock, baby Joey in the pouch. This is the first Joey we’ve come across so we weren’t entirely sure what to do, we thought it was best to wrap him in a towel (to act like a warm pouch) and find someone to help care for him. Unfortunately, we didn’t have any phone reception to contact anyone, so we drove 45 minutes to a visitor centre in the nearest town. Thankfully the lovely ladies knew exactly who to call and within 30 minutes we had taken the baby Joey to his new home. The wildlife carer who took in this new orphan had 4 other babies that she was caring for, each one needing fed 4 times per day with special marsupial milk and each having their own home made pouch. Joeys can be the size of a mandarin or a small puppy so make sure to have a good look within the pouch. If the Joey is attached to the tit don’t pull it off as it can damage it’s jaw, instead remove the tit. Moral of the story is, if you see a dead kangaroo on the road please please (safely) stop and check the pouch as you might find a tiny orphan looking for its new home.
