Kiel to Sonderborg
A relaxed start this morning. The weather has improved and it looks as though we shall be able to do some sailing.
We leave Düsternbrook at 10:40 and by 11:00 the engine is off and we are sailing.
Our sail up to Denmark is uneventful and marked by a wide variety of yachts and larger sailing vessels. As we approach the island of Als the wind begins to drop and we motor sail for the last hour in the company of a large Dutch sailing barge.
As we enter Sønderborg yacht club the wind has become quite gusty and I make a bit of a hash of getting into our box mooring. All is well in the end and we are all fast by 19:00.
After a long walk ashore and around Sønderborg we find a restaurant, the OX-EN, and have dinner.
Days Run 38.6 miles
