Definitely it is Max! Fantastic conditions as long as you stay away from the occasional downpours (myself, I encountered one the minute the ferry arrived at Brunsbüttel ferry bridge):)
Yeah, the new ferry service is a great opportunity, both for tourists and for ship spotters, I think.

Best regard, David

I was at Cuxhaven two days before - can't beat this kind of light!! raincloud sky and sun both, and in two cases a bit of rainbow over the ship. That ferry service sounds very interesting...Regards, Max

Thank you Jens for your nice compliment!
A trip with the new ferry service connecting Brunsbüttel with Cuxhaven is something I can fully recommend to you and everyone else who lives not too far distant.

Cheers, & enjoy your coffee,
David
