Since we moved into the boat the 1. August, we have had visits every day and said a lot of colors.
Yesterday we said goodbye to Jørgen, who had driven the long way from Elsinore to Dragør by motorcycle and said the very last goodbye when Daniel & Emilie left us out in the evening.
The next morning we were up early and noted at 8.08 as the departure time in the logbook.
The wind was in the west and the current ran quite unusually to the south, even with a speed of almost 2 knots.
The sun was shining from a blue sky with temperatures high in the twenties - Wonderful with the heat, we are definitely ready for the Mediterranean.
We sailed through large areas with blue-green algae, passed the cliffs at Stevns after a few hours and were able to put a stop to the fact that we have now passed Køge Bay - or the miniBiscay as it is also called.
From there it went on towards the "soldier" - a buoy that marks the entrance to Bøgestrømmen.
Here are many low reasons. They move - especially a lot in the storms in the winter - and in the spring the markings change so that they show the new fairways.
Our chartplotter did not have the new markings and in critical situations we used the iPhone. The app we use updates the changes continuously (and for free). It is the same company that provides charts for the chartplotter, but updates on it are cumbersome and cost a small fortune.
After a couple of hours, we breathed in Vordingborg harbor.
Found a good place in very beautiful surroundings, where we are with the bow facing east and the storm that is forecast to come tonight.
Yes, Bøstrømmen is a special experience, especially when you have set the depth gauge to give alarm at a certain minimum depth - so there is music on most of the way through the stream. We sailed through the 1,95 meter draft - and the depth gauge all the way down to the 1,4 meter depth.
On the other hand, we were icy when we sailed out from Vordingborg over the grounds down there - now we had become accustomed to "scratching the bottom" so to speak.
We push thumbs that Pia is now cured and that the trip can continue as planned. Thue
