OOJAH's AWESOME ODYSSEY

It was almost another week before we left Haderslev as the moment Oojah was ready the weather was not. The town itself was very pleasant with an attractive old centre & reasonable opportunities for provisioning. It has been cold with some strong wind, & some rain - on the whole 3 or 4 layer weather, & definitely needing the boat heater to get out of bed! However our first sail was an idyllic 20nm reach in light air to an anchorage off Faeno in The Little Belt, a lovely cruising area between mainland Jutland & the island of Fyn. A couple of days later we are temporarily weathered in 5nm further on at Middlefart, a medieval city adjacent the impressive suspension bridge which carries the traffic across Fyn to Sjaeland & Copenhagen, 100nm to the East. The shoreline is flat with woodland with lots of good walking; the small towns we have seen are quaint but very quiet - in fact at times we wonder what all the Danes are up to (waiting for summer)? 



Keep in touch, Peter & Christene
