Immer noch Hitzewelle • The heatwave drags on

This morning I went on a refreshing walk in the harbour, took the harbour ferry to Finkenwerder and back. I was back home after lunch in the HafenCity to escape the afternoon heat.




Dilbar is a super-yacht launched on 14 November 2015 at the German Lürssen shipyard and delivered in 2016. It was built as Project Omar. The interior design of Dilbar was designed by Andrew Winch and the exterior by Espen Oeino.[4]

As of 2020, Dilbar is the sixth longest yacht in the world. At 15,917 gross tonnage (GT), it is the third largest yacht by volume, after Fulk Al Salamah and REV Ocean.

The yacht was owned by Russian Billionaire and Oligarch Alisher Usmanov. In March 2022, the yacht was seized by German authorities as part of a series of sanctions on Russian oligarchs during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. It is reported to have cost $800 million, employ 84 full-time crew members, and contain the largest indoor swimming pool installed on a superyacht at 180 cubic metres. Usmanov previously owned, another, smaller yacht also named Dilbar (renamed Al Raya in 2018). WIKIPEDIA

All my life though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
