The forecast was correct and by 10am the wind started dropping. By then we had done some shopping and I even had a haircut! After taking in some diesel, we left at 11:20. At first there was about 12 knots of wind but as it was from behind it was easy going. After an hour or two, Læsø came in sight, it is pretty low so you can't see it from far away. The wind and waves also decreased as per plan and at 3 pm we were tied up in Østerby, the Eastern harbour of Læsø. A nice an quiet place. Quite a few visitors in the harbour, apart from the usual Danes, Swedes and Germans there is even a Swiss-flagged yacht. So with us as the only Dutch entry that makes 5 nationalities.
1. It seems likely that we'll do the Sweden crossing tomorrow. The forecast is good for it. It will be 22 miles (say 4 hours) to the Trubaduren lighthouse and then another 11 miles (all nautical miles of 1852 m of course) to the Lille Bommen guest harbour in Gothenborg. It does not seem likely that we will arrive there in time to get Swedish SIM cards for the iPads. So, unless we have nice WiFi tomorrow night, there won't be a blog update tomorrow. But as 'Lille Bommen' appears to be very near the centre of the city, it should be possible to get connected the next day.
3. Sorry, no pictures tonight. The Internet speed will not allow it!
5. sorry again. Blog press has delivered a totally useless 'update' and I can't control all these bullet points!
