Having done Helsingor (Denmark), we felt it was time we did Helsingborg (Sweden). They are about 2.5 miles apart at the top of the Oresund and marauding armies have spent a good deal of time fighting each other across the sound, so we thought we would head north again and …
A lay day today. Derek and Adie needed to head off to the airport around lunchtime for their flight and so Ric helped them out while Fiona and I headed into Copenhagen for a look round. First stop (apart from a cafe) was the Design Museum and then we wandered around. …
With Derek and Adie needing to get back home, we headed back to Copenhagen this afternoon. However, before heading back, we spent the morning looking around the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. The museum was directly beside the Humblebaek yacht harbour and so was only a five minute walk away. …
A tough day today! We started with a wander around Kronborg Castle. Today was the first day of the summer season and as a result, a troop of jobbing actors were wandering around the castle muttering lines like ‘To be or not to be …‘ and ‘ The lady doth …
A short and wet trip today from Langelinie Havn in Copenhagen to Helsingor – better know in English as Elsinore (from Hamlet fame!). The weather was not quite as forecast – we set off expecting a nice sunny day and got drenched. The rain started just as we left and …
We had a lay day today in Copenhagen and had a great day out to Roskilde. We caught the train from Ostport near the marina straight across to Roskilde and walked through the town to the cathedral. In 1020 King Canute (of tidal fame …) elevated the town to a …
A short motor today from Dragor to Copenhagen (7.7 miles). The wind was coming from the north and given the channel to Copenhagen is not very wide, there was no way to sail, so we motored all the way. There are various options for mooring in Copenhagen, but we chose …
Twelve knots of wind and sunshine – a perfect combination which couldn’t last …. and didn’t! However, while it lasted we had a great sail. We started from Rodvig just after 8.30am and for the next three hours managed to sail at between 5 and 7 knots – past further …
A very relaxing trip today – Klintholm to Rodvig (24.8 miles). Warm and sunny – the only thing missing was the wind, so it was the job of the iron topsail to get us to Rodvig today. However, it was a very pleasant trip and initially took us past the ‘White …
A lovely (if chilly) sail today from Gedser to Klintholm (35.9 miles). We set off about 8.40am with a lovely breeze, but a slightly murky and chilly day in store. We manage to host sails almost as soon as we left Gedser (by the ferry port) and finally took them …
