Again, Denmark must be the preeminent source for quality fields of wheat, grass, and other stuff. Femø is a nice little island, Omø was just as nice, but even littler, with the ugliest little ferry boat possibly ever floated (so said our Danish neighbor in the harbor).
Today we sat and had a beer within ear-shot of an older couple, they asked if we were American, and when we replied yes the gentleman said, “Jesus Christ”. They had lived in the U.S., he was in the Air Force, was 80 years old, and she Danish and him we presume American. We also learned they were soul mates, both widowed. We didn’t learn much more, they were in a hurry. They walked through the mini-golf at the restaurant, hopped into a small plane, and took off. No shit. It was pretty cool.
And at last- dolphin video, terrible quality, but proof none the less.
Well done guys. I guess going anti clockwise around sealand was a great choice as it looks as if you ll have some degree of Southerlies for the next 2 days and you re way back up to CPH. Wednesday looks at moment a bit gusty though.
Just found out that you had actually replied to the comments, didn’t see them before_.
Great that you also manage to keep your blog up to date, it is really nice to be able to follow your progress like that.
Cheers

We’re not done yet! And as for anti-clockwise, today was simply a pain in the ass. We’ve made it to Kalvehalv, would liked to have gone further, but were against a current of at least 2 knots for the last two to three hours, making 2.5 knots with the engine maxed out. On top of that, there were so many weeds on the rudder steering was off, we had to keep scooping them off the skeg and rudder by sliding the hook down along it. Who knows what’s wrapped around the keel.
Not that we’re complaining.

right about now, those fields look pretty great. new york is feeling hot and cramped.
It’s been hot here too, but thankfully so. Best weather we’ve had in our time here by far.
Cool pics, sounds like an awesome trip so far. I did a day sail on the SF bay this weekend and was thinking of you guys.
Who you sailing with?
