Today we stuck with Plan A!  Underway by 0740, we soon cleared Bagenkop's harbour moles, and with full main and genoa set were regularly clocking 8+ kts in the SSE4.  Grey skies, rain and more wind saw the rig shortened, but morale was kept high by the timely production of a Full English.  The 33 miles to the selected anchorage were soon run down: the last 5 between Kegnaes Island and Als Island were enchanting.  On the south coast a spot like this would have 50 boats in it: here we are alone with the wildlife.

After a cockpit lunch, activity seemed to be conspicuously absent.... But Robert gave some a foray ashore after tea, and we can report that the natives are friendly.  Back onboard, Rosalie had prepared chicken and mushrooms in a cream and mustard sauce.

Tomorrow will bring plenty of wind, but it should be on the beam for the 45 mile passage to the vicinity of the eastern end of the Kiel Canal.
