Tatt av vinden

We are still at Anholt. Too much wind straight on the nose to procede.
Tomorrow will be better.
In the meantime we try to sort out data issues... (Eva is out running at
the moment.)
And we explore the island. One of my collegues said he regarded Anholt the
best place in Denmark. He is Danish. He may be right, from the sailors point of
view.
There are 150 inhabitants on the island. And in the marina it is just as
many boats. So the sailors are the majority on the island at the moment. And
among the sailors, I am sure that the Germans are the majority. Must be close to
half af the some 150 boats.
Half the island is desert. The rest is green. There are few cars, many
bicycles and walking people. We met a man who told us he had lived on the island
for 25 years, now he was “firs” – Danish for eighty. – He preferred to walk on
the trails – off from the roads. On the roads he felt there was too much
traffic... Of course some bicycles and maybe a tractor. I guess his perspective
of traffic had been modified over the years.
We walked the 3 kilometers to Anholt town and bought some delicious
strawberries. That was yesterday. |
