Beautiful dog walking for Taff and Jimmy
Playtime in the Baltic is over and we now need to sail in the right direction for England. We have visited some beautiful places and experienced the local cuisine in Denmark and Sweden. We have swam in the sea and sunbathed on the beaches.
Klintholm beach
Today started as planned with a great sail in the direction of Hesnaes, crossing a very busy shipping lane with a roundabout!
A part built ship about to negotiate the middle channel roundabout
All was going well, we were sailing perfectly at 7knots and making good time, then the wind picked up with gusts of 30 Knots plus at the same time we were trying to get around the headland of Mon. At this point Adrian said "whale oil beef hooked!" Reefs were quickly put in as the waves became huge and it felt like we were on a roller coaster!
Are they speaking to each other?
Needless to say, after quite a few minutes of silence and worried faces we decided to divert into Klintholm rather than have a couple more hours of being in a washing machine. So we are a few miles short of our first chosen port of call on the way home but better safe than sorry!
