Sonderborg to Dyvig
11/07/06 21:58 Filed in: Denmark
We leave Sønderborg yacht club at 11:06 and proceed to Sønderborg harbour where we wait for the bridge to open.
Had we come further in last night we could have moored in the main harbour although it was pretty crowded and we would have had to raft.
Approaching Sønderborg
Sønderborg Castle - At the approaches to Sønderborg harbour and sound.
Sønderborg Harbour
The bridge opens at 11:20 and once clear at 11:30 we deploy the yankee and proceed up Sønderborg sound. We clear the sound at 12:25 and motor sail up Als fjord.
At 13:25 we pass through the Stagshoved narrows and by 13:35 we are all fast alongside the repairs berth at Dyvig marina.
I give Peter at Aries a call and he comes down to inspect the boat prior to installing an Aries windvane. Later he takes me up to the workshop and we have a long chat about the merits of Superwind wind generators.
I had been considering a windvane and was impressed by the output figures for the Superwind. It is a beautifully engineered piece of kit.
My only concern is the viability of fitting one on a 28 footer with twin and running backstays. Peter says he can assist with installation and will check the measurements tomorrow.
Today's Run: 12.1 miles.
Since leaving Dartmouth on 24th May we have covered 810.3 Miles.
