We got cuffed by the cops coming into Hohensaaten off the River Oder. They headed us off by cutting across our bow. They obviously don't know me and Penelope's Ark, I could have made 2 nice kayaks out of that tub, but fortunately we brought it to a halt. They didn't want to buy that we weren't trying to escape from Poland.....even though we pointed out the American flag on the stern. Finally the passports proved the point, though he wanted to know how I was going to get the boat back to the US.
