Our stay in Copenhagen was excellent. We went on the bus and metro into the center of the city and walked for miles. Brilliant architecture and lots to look at. It was a good rest and very enjoyable.
We left Copenhagen, Denmark 2 days ago and had some great downwind sailing in 25 kts. with gusts to 35 kts.
We made 95 miles to our last stop which was a small town called Simrishavn with a marina. The pilot promised it had 2.5m. of water. They lied. We sort of bounced onto the dock, which amused the locals. On the east coast of Sweden, the bottom is mainly rock rather then mud but no damage was done. We had a nice dinner ashore and escaped early the next morning in crystal clear weather.
Again a lovely sailing day, past the tiny island of Utklippan and into the Oland sound and up to Kalmar.
We spent the day yesterday touring the city and visited the reconstructed medieval castle at Kalmar.
The marina here is excellent with very good staff and excellent facilities.

| Inside the castle, there was a very interesting museum which featured this dude, whose name is Gustave Adolphus from the 17th century. He has the most intriguing and innovative comb over I have ever seen. The photo does not do it justice but he appears to have brought hair from the back and sides and braided it into the center. Brilliant!. Donald Trump should take note. |
