Sønderborg havn. A grey day where we still covered
65 nm mostly in sheltered waters of Lille Bælt. Highlight was the bridges
(always looks liek we are too tall at 20 m) including our first one to open here
at Sønderborg. A big marina where now there are mostly German sailors
and many. Playground with wild rabbits and crabfishing until dark. A scare
when the GPS disappeared, and we turned every user manual inside out. Only to
realize we had turned off the Sea talk for a change and therefore also
the GPS. We now hope to get out in the morning with the current strong SW
in our side. 12 tonnes is a lot to move sideways. We are reading up and Regi's
latest 'Kids in the Cockpit' book is timely and really excellent with advice. We
are already making some unconcious 'mistakes' on how to engage the kids while
sailing.
