Treis-Karden - 30th April to 2nd May 2023

 Left Winningen at 10:40 this morning, arrived at Treis-Karden at 4:00pm, we were not in any hurry. Through 2 locks (for anyone on a boat in this area, the sides are smooth, no need for planks)

About the marina

• Cash only (in 2023!)
• When you get you berth number, note all berth start with Y and does not show anywhere. Y is for Yachthaven and C is for Camping.
• Showers are free, for water you do need to push the button to start the flow, last for about 30 seconds before you need to push again. Or you can go to the showers at the Camping Grounds, free flowing water.
• They have WiFi, 5 Euros for 3 days, 500MB for one device, oh and don't loss the paper with your password, you will need to enter it a lot, times vary.
• There are 2 supermarkets walking distance from the marina, Edeka and Norma and a Rossmann
• No laundry at marina, there is one at the Camping grounds you can use.
• A restaurant at the beginning of arm B, not sure if it's every Sunday night or just because it was a long weekend, but the restaurant changes to a night club after 9:00pm to 2:00am.
• Electricity is a pay as you need, the box will take 10, 20, 50 cents and 1 and 2 euros. 1 Euro per 1 kilowatt hour.
• There is a place for rubbish and recycling, paper and class only.

Arm B takes you straight to the restaurant, you also have to walk through the patrons eating to get to the toilet and shower block behind.

This evening we had 2 shows, a dinner show, a boat coming in at 7:00 looking for his assigned berth K16, once he found it, he aimed for it nearly hitting the boat in the next berth, he then turned around to face bow heading out. The skipper had 3 other people on board and none of them were on the lines. The owners of the boat they nearly hit come out to help.

The second show was on our arm, a family of 4 setting up to stay the night, we receive 2 shows from them. First, they throw a tarp over the boat, they threaded a line through the holes in the tarp but not security to the boat. Second, the oldest daughter's phone fell in the water, dad then dredged the area with his net for about an hour and half before giving up. Not the weekend the dad was hoping for.

Tarp in the morning, they were lucky it was a calm night.
