The next island

Just a quick update, the mobile signal is slow here (only EDGE, no 3G), so I'll try one picture only.

We are in Lohals, on Langeland. A two and a half easy trip from Svendborg. We left early-ish, around 8:30 and were tied up just after 11 in at that time a rather quiet harbour. The town is OK, but nothing really special. After midday, the wind came up as expected and more boats came in. Not everyone manages tying up in a 'box' very well. It means tying the front of the boat to a jetty and the back to two poles, the boat sitting at a right angle to the jetty. It requires a bit of planning as you need to get the mooring lines around the poles before you have passed them, especially if the 'box' is quite long. The front of the boat is usually easier, also because there often are a few people from neighbouring boats available to catch a line:





The weather is quite unsettled, with sunny spells interspersed with rain showers accompanied with relatively strong gusts. The two weather sites we use give conflicting information about tomorrow, so it is not unlikely that we'll spend another day here before crossing the Storebælt towards the islands South of Sjælland.
