We did the 27 nmiles from Hals to Sæby in a comfortable 4 hours. With a following light wind and ditto current things were easy. Unfortunately we are basically a 'day too late' as far as the weather is concerned. There is a weather system arriving (as I write this, actually), with winds of over 30 knots (that's a good 7 Beaufort), which is 'stay in the harbour' weather for us, especially on open water. And the Kattegat is VERY open. Now if this weather had only arrived tomorrow night, we would probably have made for Læsø (the island between here and Sweden) today and done the crossing tomorrow. But it's no problem, we are safe and comfortable here with plenty to do for 'work and play' (the piano for Lyn for the latter). The forecasts seem to agree that the winds will stay until at least Sunday, what happens after that is unclear. So blog posts will probably not be daily as there won't be a lot to report. But we'll keep you informed when we plan to leave.
Here is a picture of Sæby from the air. We had a quick look around and its quite pretty. We'll post some of our own pictures later.
By the way, this is quite far North: 57 degrees and 20 minutes!
