Denmark's beautiful islands

The next destination 8th of June was Denmark. We had good sailing winds and beautiful sun set. During the trip we saw one submarine navigationg on the surface. We arrived to Gedser late evening after 14 hours sailing. It was already dark but we found a spot for the boat. In the morning we found that the community was idyllic and the atmosphere was social and open. We enjoyed about the small village´s services. Finally we ended up to spend two nights in the small and nice quest harbour. We continued the trip 10th of June. Due the high winds in Gedser we waited until the afternoon before the next start.



From Gedser we targeted to Bornholm. The distance was ca. 100 nm. After two hours sailing we heared an odd sound beside the boat. There were at least 2 little dolphins playing games beside our boat. That was a fantastic and sudden nice experience. The cruising was mainly motor sailing as there was no wind during the night. The surprice was the number of the vessels going in both directions.


Bornholm is really a place to visit. There are a lot of small and nice villages. This is really a place to spend a holiday. The island itself has many litlle villages and the largest city is Rønne. We stayed in Rønne 2 days and visited other side of the island taking local bus route. We visited a middle age centre near Gudhjem and tried viking helmets, hunting with old fashioned archies and had interesting discussions with a local guide.

On Wednesday the 13th of June we headed to Kalmar in Sweden.
