Arriving in Władysławowo
finally reaching the geographic destination
After 48 hours of negotiation with the harbor officials, the wind lifts up and the Langenort heads to Wladyslawowo to dock in the the Wladyslawowo harbor. Waiting on the dock are Polish women's organizations and the other Women on Waves members, but also a group of around 200 anti abortionist protesters, led by MP Strak. The anti abortionists throw red paint and eggs at the Langenort as they sail in and try to land, and the border patrol has to intervene to make sure people gathered to welcome the Langenort do not get pushed into the water. One anti abortionist tries to cut the ropes of the ship while berthing. Once this happens, the harbormaster suggests a secured berth.
