Copenhagen was not part of our original passage plan, but the prominent NE wind prevented us from crossing to Bornholm (Danish Island NE of Rügen). So plan "b" meant a N or NW course was required.
27th May
We crossed the stretch of water between Germany & Denmark with a F3 for the first 25 miles, the second 25 saw the wind drop and the engine was required to see us into our first Danish Haven, Klintholm on the Island of Mon. This was a sleepy one horse town with little more than a restaurant & shop, but extremely beautiful and a must visit if your ever passing by.
28th May
Cast off from Klintholm at around 08.30 with a F3-F4 from the east, we made approximately 7 knots with a beam reach for 30 miles, wind dropped again mid afternoon so engine was on again to finish the passage to Copenhagen.
Having considered our next step, unusual attention to detail for this crew, we decided on a Haven South of Copenhagen, which would be a bonus for a speedy departure South, "Brondby Haven".
Copenhagen is probably the most beautiful city in the World. So much architecture the mind boggles, I can't believe I didn't know this before. Pictures as good as a 1000 words!
