Yesterday was productive. The skipper got two loads of dhobi done, so the boats downwind are no longer wrinkling their noses. Stuart refreshed the anti-chafe on the main halyard peak, while the skipper topped up the donk's oil level - first time in 250hrs of running since leaving Poole. We then went in search of the famous mermaid: not hard to find, as she's only 60 seconds walk from the boat. Then a 20 minute walk into the centre of town: en route we enjoyed the changing of the guard outside the Amalienborg Palace.  We soon found a canal side brasserie, and over a beer enjoyed watching the world go past.  We fell into conversation with a young Austrian couple and their young son. As non-sailors, they expressed amazement when we showed them Aquila's web site. So much so that I felt I had to warn them: never buy a boat! See accompanying phots.
