On our right hand side, just before reaching the Köhlbrand Brücke, we have Neuhöfer Kanal. And this is the very place where we used to load soy oil with Margaron back in the days.
After passing the bridge I left the bridge and we were soon clear of Köhlbrand Süder Elbe and steaming West on the river Elbe leaving Hamburg behind.
Yesterday our Pilot told us that the forecast for today would be rainy, gloomy and grey. And 30 minutes after departure it was raining. Gloom and haze as long as you could see. Well, the visibility was reduced to almost nothing so it was not possible to see far up river
