I woke up this morning to find a boat anchored right next to mine. It was not there at midnight when I went to sleep – so what was this about? Who would dare to park next to me in the middle of the night without my permission? I checked my phone – there were no messages. The whole thing seemed so spooky that I did not dare go out and knock on the door of the boat. This is Berlin – who knows what kind of craziness would be inside?
I texted my neighbors… one of them offered to come over. He is a tall and strong man, which made me feel safer right away. He is no chicken either, so he went out and knocked mightily on the boat. Turns out it was a ghost boat – no one inside. Turns out it was not anchored either … it had drifted there on its own.
We called the water police and informed them that there was a ghost boat on the loose. They showed up a couple of hours later – with the rightful owner. The boat had come from across the bay.
Back to where it belonged…. Never a dull moment here, I swear!
