“Här är tre tyska damer…“ – Ah, yes, that´s us! Andrea, Nicola and me. Waiting at the Stena Line ferry port in Gothenburg for some manpower support to pick up a 400kg iron railway wheel, being urgently needed as additional anchor weight for the mesocosms. Our to-do-list for today: transferring the wheel, being heavier than the double of our total body weight, from a car with broken engine into our car and transport it to Kristineberg. Quite a challenge, but hey: we made it. See the pictures. Check. Next challenge 🙂

The railway wheel in the boot of car nr. 1….

…let´s get it out of there.

Uff- done.

The railway wheel, now in the boot of car nr. 2. Pictures: Dana Hellemann, GEOMAR.

To mention, that a helpful forklift driver and his forklift have also been involved, would spoil the story of our glorious girls power, but actually he and the Stena Line team deserve a big thank you for their uncomplicated and fast help. Tack så mycket!
