Gdynia and Gdansk Checked


After a long drive from Sczcecin to Gdynia and Gdansk. The Skipper checked both places.

Gdynia (above). A modern marina with all the services nearby. Easy access directly from the sea. Also save the total trip mileage about 30 miles. Just around the corner the main shopping streets and refreshement points that the crew definately will need.














Gdansk (above). More challenging to entrance via river. The route in enters next to the Westerplatte, where somehow the second World war met the first shots. Then down the river until the guestharbour is just next to the Zurav (the Crane). The guest harbour is just in the middle of the old city. Zillions of monuments, churches and other historical landmarks nearby + never ending nice bars and restaurant in the historical city.

I believe that will depend totally on crew which place to choose. both places are worth of visiting. The future shows...

The route for the summer is: Helsinki - Hanko - Ventspils/Liepaja - Gdansk/Gdynia - Sassnitz (if needed) - Copenhagen.

Todey the Skipper checked Sassnitz. A DDR-style village in Rügen. Seems to be OK as a reserve port. >Tomorrow the Captain will check Gdansk and Gdynia.
