I just read that you, lancaster, has been in Langeoog. Three years ago I was there with sailing boat. My pal bought old x-99 from Holland (very south near Belgium) and we sailed the boat to Finland. We over-nighted in 4 or 5 those Wadden sea -islands and IMO there is a living hell for that kind of sailing boat with long keel like we had...

In summer 2013 we were in Emden and Borkum, again fetching a sailing boat but this time we didn´t bought any, just changed the crew.

Before this topic I had no idea that Wadden sea area has been a seal hunters place. Here in Finland we use to hunt seals too but nowadays it is quite restricted.
