on early afternoon we finally arrived in Burgtiefe at the marina. we were surprised by the very strong wind altough it was clear an sunny weather.
our boat – a sun odyssey 43 – was handed over by the very nice staff of so long yacht charter.

well, we’re still in Burgtiefe – it’s just too much wind (more than 6Bft). but the island Fehmann has a lot of attractions, so we made a kind of sightseeing tour on the island. we visited a lighthouse with an amazing view, the Jimy Hendrix Memorial, took a walk on the beach, .. and finally went to the Hafenfest (a big party in the harbour of Burgtiefe)...

A very nice morning – the sun is shining. I bought gloves!!!! – so we finally can start sailing.
After a very nice stage with excellent wind conditions we reached the harbour Spodsbjerg on the island Langeland. A very nice and cosy harbour – i can really recommend it!! it would be nice to stay here for one or two days – but we just have one week for this trip!!!

Finally a very nice and sunny day (at least it starts like this). After having breakfast in the sun we leave Langeland at about 10 a.m. heading towards Nyborg on the island Fünen. Still on the water a thunderstorm comes up and it’s starts raining!!! After a very wet stage we reach the old harbour of Nyborg. It’s still raining cats and dogs but we visit the village and the castle ….

The weatherforecast – as usual, very exactly but nothing nicet to say!!! The weather stays the same.
We changed our plan and sailed to Omo. Some very nice and impressive impressions while sailing – dark, almost black sky and rough, dark sea.
Half of our crew lost their breakfast again – but felt better immediatly as we reached Omo.

Very strong wind! With 7knts we sail towards Rodbyhavn on the island Loland. It’s not a really nice harbour, but it’s just for an overnight-stay.

Our last day. Still very strong wind – but today a littlebit sun as well.
But as soon as we reach Burgtiefe again – the wind stops completely and the sun is shining ;-).

Well, after all – for sure I’ll come back. It’s really something different to sail in the Baltic Sea compared with the Mediterranean Sea.
But next time – I’ll spend at least 3 weeks!!!
