An attempt to remap Europe and claim back the lost territories of the North Sea
Spiekeroog
On the Friday, the tides allowed for a return ferry trip to Spiekeroog. Leaving Neuharlingersiel in the morning, the boat followed a wall of brick, which I’m not sure what to call: maybe a groyne or a boom. This separated a deeper channel from the tidal flats and seemed to lead the whole way across to the island.
Hooksiel
Since the beginning of April, we’ve been staying in Wilhelmshaven, near the harbour. Last Wednesday, as sun was forecast at about the time of high tide, we took an afternoon off and went to the nearest beach at Hooksiel.
