Arrived back to the boat at Middelfart late afternoon on Sunday August 12th. The journey from UK was uneventful apart from a fire on the train from Copenhagen! Thick smoke billowing into our carriage and an unscheduled train change at Korsor.
On Monday 13th we sailed from Middelfart down the East side of the Lille Bealt past Assens and Faaborg to a small sheltered anchorage well placed for the next leg. A blustery but sunny day with the wind from the South East, just where we were headed.
We hoped for better weather on Tuesday as the forecast was for Easterly winds F 3-4 and we were planning to sail just East of South to Fehmarn, (where we will return early Septamber to lay up).
We had a good time threading our way through the channels behind the islands of Drejo and Aero but when we got to sea for the 40 mile leg to Fehmarn, no prizes for guessing that we were fated to be hard on the wind for the whole time.
Everything ends however and we were safely moored at Fehmarn marina by 7pm.
Today, Wednesday 15th was spent visiting the boatyard where we will lay up, and arranging to have some shipwrights and engine jobs completed during the winter.
