An unexpectedly pleasant harbour
We slept really well, not unexpectedly(!) and were up and about in the now familiar start to the day, dry but fresh. Our plan was to sail about 10 miles further eastwards, to the 'mainland' ie. Sjaelland, to the ferry’s other harbour, Havensø. ...
Goodbye Helen
I don't know whether it was my subconscious or whether it was the actuality that resulted in my having a disturbed night’s sleep – my subconscious stopping me from sleeping well as Helen had set her alarm and that always seems to impact on my ...

boat tidying and laundry day
After a good night's sleep, we were up and about by 07:30 but there was no hurry, as we needed to allow time for the fleet to leave the marina and in fact, when they started leaving, they went in such numbers they did reminded one of bats leaving a cave ...
