Exploring the beautiful Lymfjord (Denmark) | Step 12

Tropical atmosphere... Departure: 07.45 Arrival: 14.00 Distance: 27 miles Weather: Bright sunshine, 19 degrees Wind: W 16-24 knots Details: Seals seen Since we have a creep-by-creep departure from the harbour, we want to sail away with as little wind as possible. It all works out according to plan. And we course, unfortunately again, headwind and thus motor to Fur. The fjord is really beautiful. The wind feels strong and we particularly notice this when it turns out that the coffee is literally blowing out of our cups. Haha. At Løgstør, we turn for the bridge and see some seals playing. Just too far for really nice photos unfortunately. Not much later, we turn so that ‘the jib’ can be raised, and although we don't even unfurl it completely, we do 7.5 knots of speed at halfwind. The waves are a bit mean over starboard though (the downwind feeling doesn't feel comfortable), but oh well. Then we course into the beautiful bay and moor her as close as we can in the lee under the shore. It looks like a little beach paradise. Nice lunch on the Aloha deck and after some ‘banking’, the dinghy goes in the water and we head to shore to walk on the beach, look for shells, drink a beer and....the drone to fly. An hour later, we sail back, eat pasta (at least....once it was clear where the sauce had gone :-)) and enjoy the setting sun before diving into the berths around 23:00. #creep #zigzag #sailing ailing
