We try to get used to the movements of our ship. The wind is from a very wrong direction...

 

 

 

Still we arrived at Helgoland with full flaps, 5th of August

 

 

 

Inge, who joined us, takes the ferry back home.

 

 

This hitchhiker stayed until Denmark.

 

 

This is the very dangerous Skagerak without a touch of wind....

Monday August the 9th.

 

 

 

 

We anchored near these rocks at the eastcoast of Sweden.

Göteborg August the 10th.

 

 

The locks from the Trolhättan Channel.

 

 

 

Looking for Henk.

 

 

Fortunately finally we found him.

 

 

He had to wait for us for a long long time....

 

 

 

 

The beautiful scenery of Lurö at the lake Vänern.

 

 

The new BBQ.

Sunset, always fascinating!

 

 

 

The Läcksö Castle, August the 15th.

 

 

After a week Henk and Dineke went back to their tent near Vänersborg and we had to head back home.

 

 

 

Before crossing to Denmark we anchored at the coast of Sweden.

 

 

Heading for the Limfjord through Denmark we tried unsuccesfully to catch some fish for dinner.

 

 

Near Aalborg (Denmark).

We didn't understand the rules: 3 red lights and still we were expected to pass this brigde so it took a second time an hour later...

The passage from Tuborin till Borkum was very rough, the 21th of August.

 

 

The waves were 3,5 meter high.

 

 

Safely arrived on Borkum on Sunday the 22th after 30 hours sailing, a very fast passage!
