Left christiansund 0400 had a wee nap on the boat perfect sail shorts and t shirts playing cards at the front of the boat....skagen Denmark busy fishing harbour very scabby weather shaun tent the first night turned into a paddling pool explored town through the day and big card tournament on the boat at night with many prizes including mars bars up for grabs.....Day trip to Aalborg on Sat left in shorts and tshirt to catch train arrived to wet and windy Aalborg...Found the fitba stadium , Hamish sweet talked the Danish u21 manager into giving us complimentary tickets.....visited centre of culture befor egoing to match...great day arrived back at Skagen to torrential rain another soaking and bed...Left skagen at 1130 for Gothenberg Sweden , good weather sails up , magic . spot of fishing on the way....no fish !...Experienced some technical difficulties with engine thankfully disco just as good as fixing engines as making corn beef hash , back up and running in 20 mins....next stop Sweden.

felt a bit sick on way to Skagen but wasnt and managed it , think i found my sea legs now , Hamish said they were in my locker all the time . In Aalborg we got free tickets to football Iceland won 3 1. We had a big card game on fri . it was a close game. We are going to sweden it is getting warmer. On the way there we had a breakdown but everything was ok. Gothenberg looks cool

When we came in to skagen there were a lot of fishing boats . One of them from Peterhead .we went too see the football . I only took t shirt and shorts it rained . On the plus side we got free tickets. The engine impellor gave in and we had to change it half way across. There were heaps of big boats and oil tankers. When we got to Sweden we sat down to a massive plate of corn beef hash it was top of the pops

left norway 4 in the morning and arrived in denmark bedtime looked for a site for tent but just camped on the beach seemed like a good idea but i woke up in a puddle of water in the morning with heavy rain through the night and had to do front crawl to get out of my tent. went to aalberg to try get tickets for the match. train journey was good catching up on sleep. Somehow hamish managed to get us free tickets to a sold out game right next to the VIPs . we visited the centre for culture which was very interesting . When we set sail for Sweden I helped Hamish set up the sails for my first time it was ace to get a go at steering with sails up. Disco fixed a broken impellor the wind died and we were on our way to Sweden. Gothenborg looks a bonny place with some views on the way in. Had corn beef hash on arrival . AWESOME
