No wind outside Frederikshavn
The weather report says 4 m/s, but yet no wind is noticeable at Hirsholm in the Kattegat sea outside Frederikshavn. Joakim takes some time to study the map. Hirsholm light house in the background.
A wet, but successful first leg!
The first leg of the expedition in an open boat to the Boat Show in Aarhus, has been long, overwhelmingly wet, but indeed successful! 13,5 hours passed before we had land in sight, and entered the harbour of Skagen last night at 20.30. The crossing over Skagerrak was intended to put the boat on a proper test, and the weather conditions made sure that was utterly fulfilled. We are very pleased with how the boat cut through the waves and defeated the raging sea. Today we continue on towards Aarhus, where the boat show kicks off on Friday. Follow us here, for updates on the journey!
