weekend routine is called for. For the crew it means to finally sleep again. No annoying announcements over the public address system. But besides that, a little more time than usual there. Those not provide precisely the Seewache, use the time to get in the gym to keep in physical strength or the pounds at which the Smut is not completely innocent, to get back from the ribs.
treadmills, exercise bikes, rowing machines, free weights - almost everything is available in the "Mukkibude. Similarly, a sauna on board.

like so many now but a little surprised to rub his eyes a fitness room and sauna on board a warship? The three fleet service craft are the exception. Due to the job needs the crew change.
days - and weeks, the boats are in a sea area and listen. As already mentioned several times the forester. Only the soldiers who listen to here and look, have a fixed rhythm. The crew of the Alster is primarily responsible for the operation and safety of the boat. And from this arise just here and there a couple of free minutes which will be used wisely.
Russian society
the way, there was still the Russian research vessel, with its mini-submarine. The Russians have decided to spend the weekend at sea. And so they make the ALSTER "Company". However, somewhat taciturn. Because communication is not really there. Somewhat surprising. It is the fourth day at sea .. The sun appears in all its glory. The invites to the upper deck to look for a nice quiet spot and again to read a book.
Although the weekend, the commander would like to know once a day, whether its "all sheep in the barn" are. So it means stepping out to Vollzähligkeitsmusterung. But after mustering end again a relaxed atmosphere on board.
for everyone
The men and women on board, obviously enjoying the weekend routine. In measuring the good, old games are produced. As is "Ludo" played Monopoly or risk. But a poker tournament on the program. After all, 24 gamblers have registered in the list. Who now assumes that this is about hard dollars, whiskey and loose women "goes the wrong. The first prize is a bottle with an alcoholic content of the 2nd Price, a coupling (belt buckle) the emblem of the Alster and third place winner is pleased with a small basket of candy. There is no use of it. The radar champion has made the race after about 6 hours.
barbecue smell aboard the ALSTER
Assuming the upper deck, then you see him still - and the familiar sight of the Russian research ship.

At the suggestion of Smuts today there are times no dinner in his usual form, but the commander has approved the Helo deck to barbecue for the entire crew. Quick barbecue and beer table set are constructed. Only the weather has objections. The sky is associated. A few drops fall. But that does not detract from the mood. All rejoice in this change, and soon is also eaten the last sausage.
And so ends a Sunday sail.
