Short and intense was our three night stay at the pool position at Ofelia Beach with guaranteed unblocked view. No doubt, Copenhagen remains a #1 location for us, a great city.
We are now lonely together again as Susan is flying back today and I will slowly return the lady “home“, to Kappeln. Three weeks passed quickly.
The weather window South is closing soon and I hope to get 130 nautical miles done in the next 24 hours.

It was one of the better passages under engine we had so far, peaceful and picturesque. It included a dolphin show in the middle of the traffic separation scheme (TSS) heading into the Øresund.
At the time we reached Copenhagen, the whole world changed. We were greeted by a light weight aircraft taking off along the fairway. The “rush hour“ kept going until we took a berth opposite of the Opera House.
Fair winds…
Soon this adventure will come to its end and I start to miss these moments already. New plans are buzzing around in the head.

It was a night under fire and we could see the white, green and red sector at the same time.🧐 Must be one of the many attributes of Torekov, that you can berth that close to a lighthouse. Due to the fact that it was not flashing or blinking we got very decent sleep and are already off again to the capital of Denmark, Copenhagen.
To arrive in the right mood, Ulli, skipper SY Christina, shared a link with us. We are all set now! 😅

We were in Torekov 2015 (long before this blog was born) and since then it has become one of our favorite marinas. The service level is excellent and the charm hard to beat. Next time we need to explore the skerry just opposite of the marina entrance, perhaps with our own kayak. I was told it‘s worth it.
Fair winds…
The wind was a far below expectations and therefore we fancied a short stop-over in Torekov/Sweden.
On the approach of this cute historical fishing harbour you need to pass Hallands Väderö, a nature reserve and the first skerry heading further North.

After more than a week slowdown we need to move on. Great late summer stay, enjoying peaceful nordic nature, freshwater swimming in the baltic and good accompany like our neighbours Christine & Gregor from SY Aegir.

We are enjoying this fantastic island, either on foot or by bike. It is small but once you reduce the pace there are many things to discover, which we never appreciated on our previous visits. Weather and temperatures allow, or better invite, for the daily swim in the sea or just relaxing while absorbing the warmth from the sun.
Boat work is progressing slowly in accordance with the natural pace adhering to this land pile in the sea, called Anholt.
SY Magic Cloud with Johannes and his cheerful crew left this morning while we decided to stay on for a few more days.
Fair winds
I am not sure, if more blue is possible within our current Latitudes but today was an exceptional sailing day in the Baltic under the northern sky. No clouds and 15kn of wind on the beam, no gusts. It shall stay for a few days.
We might have to stay a bit longer on this island as the predominant wind direction forecasted is from the 2nd and 3rd quadrant, which means headwinds. Not a bad place to wait.
Anholt seems to be known under various slogans. From “Denmark‘s silent island“ to “Gran Canaria of the North“. We will find out over the next few days, which one fits best, if any.
As the marina is embedded into fine sandy beaches on both sides, it is just a 2min walk to enjoy (?) a swim in the clean but fresh salty water. We did the first round tonight.
Fair winds…
