One day at the end of July 2016 I went to #Poel #Island with somebody visiting us here in #Wismar to take a bath in the sea.

It was mid morning and we went out for a nice swim.

Back at the beach I took my camera from my bag and scanned the sea, suddenly stopping in mid swing:

I saw:

A distant square sail.
A dragon head.

A real longboat!

It was the "#Helge #Ask" from #Roskilde passing on a summer trip! 😎

What a fantastic sight!
