There was almost no wind this morning, a perfect day to get to Copenhagen, the seriously unofficial destination of the trip.
From Bøgeskov, we had to cross the Køge Bucht (sorry, Bucht is German and not Danish but it is what our charts say as they are German). That is a 14nm trip, so a bit over 2 hours. Then it's still another 2 hours to get to the marinas, which tend to be North of the city (there are a few to the south as well, but they don't have as good access to the centre).
First you get to Drogden Light, with a huge 'windpark' behind it.
And then to the Øresund bridge, the bridge wich connects Denmark and Sweden.
It is 55m high. We don't cross underneath it, as part of the crossing close to the Danish side is actually a tunnel which we pass over. The tunnel and bridge take a railway line as well as a motorway.
There was a fair amount of 'pleasure boat traffic', motor as well as sail, but not a lot of commercial craft on the water.
Now we are tied up in Svanemølle harbour. It is huge, with over 1100 berths (we are in 1007). Very different from what we have seen and come to enjoy so much over the past few weeks. But very conveniently positioned with the public transport to the city centre a few hundred metres away.
So for the next few days we will be sight seeing, doing a bit of 'admin' and last but not least, celebrate Lyn's birthday. We won't post a blog entry every day, but more as needs dictate. In principle, we plan to leave here on Sunday, we are still mulling about the route from here: North or South, that is the question....
