Kloster to Glowe

We sailed out of the inner seas into the Baltic through narrow deep water channels, breathing in everytime a ferry or wasser-taxi powered past. This was the first opportunity to get some wind in our sails, without the windex working we estimated a F4-F5. Hoisted the main and eased out to run down wind, this became a broad reach so pulled out the Jib. As we reached the North of Rügen the wind increased so we pulled a reef in the main sail, then 10 minutes later after rounding the headland the second reef,but still full Jib, max boat speed 9 knots. The passage to Glove from Kloster was approximately 40 miles, which we completed in 6 hrs.

Glowe.... A sleepy little port as it turned out, room for about 50 boats berthed again on the now familiar stern poles. We tied up in the widest slot,but still managed to make a Horlicks of it, (must get a fender rope we decided). Just after we tied up the wind dropped and made the whole experience seem much simpler, next time we'll stand off til the wind drops.
