Our first ‘real’ cruise. Initially, we planned to head for the small islands south of Fyn, but the wind and a short one-day leisure cruise with Crown Princess Anna took us along the west coast of Sj\u00e6lland south towards Lolland and Falster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il Capitano, a.k.a. Chief Construction Engineer, worked diligently to get the front cabin somewhat suited to luxury mega yacht sailing. Just in time, we have temporary storage and bunks ready for a week of sailing during the Chief Stewardess’ last one-week holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We keep realising that once we settle into our ‘bubble,’ we enjoy the solitude and tranquility of nature, preferring to anchor close to shore rather than in crowded tourist harbours.

Using a combination of navigation charts, Google Earth, and street maps, it’s rather easy to find a good spot where we can swim ashore (with the dog on a boogie-board) and access supermarkets and public transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 1 – Kors\u00f8r to Bisserup<\/span>
We were heading to Karreb\u00e6ksminde to meet up with Il Capitano’s sister the following day. However, as we didn’t want to spend the night at Karreb\u00e6ksminde (too touristy) and the wind was picking up, we found ourselves in a small and very cozy fishing\/leisure harbour, with only three other visiting boats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 2 – Bisserup<\/span>
The wind picked up considerably, so we decided to stay another day to enjoy the tranquility and the company of a very nice harbour master. The harbour is managed by volunteers with brand new facilities. Very nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 3 – Bisserup to Knudshoved Odde<\/span>
Heading towards Lolland\/Falster. Short trip under the bridge in Karreb\u00e6ksminde into N\u00e6stved inner harbour to practice canal-sailing. From there a bit of sailing in the narrow straits of the fjord, taking us to Gavn\u00f8 Slot. Very calm and nice. On the way out we barely avoided hitting the bridge because of large swells bouncing us up and down – an intense moment.

We didn’t want to stay in Karreb\u00e6ksminde, and we wanted to make progress for our meet-up with Anna, so we ended up anchoring south of Knudshoved Odde, after a bit of semi-rough sailing.

Day 4 – Knudshoved Odde to Guldborg<\/span>
We met up with Crown Princess Anna in Guldborg and took her and her friend for dinner in Nyk\u00f8bing Falster, with a short stop for swimming on the way. We dropped the girls off back in Guldborg. We anchored just outside the bridge quite late for a good night’s sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 5 – Knudshoved to Fej\u00f8 <\/span>
We usually spend the evening relaxing, swimming, and planning the next day’s travel. However, since we were late anchoring, we headed out and improvised. We decided to go to Nakskov and found Fej\u00f8 to be a good stop for the night along the way. We try to run at least every other day, which calls for less sailing on those days.

Fej\u00f8 turned out to be worth our while, anchored in front of the church. We explored most of the western part during our jog, and the Chief Stewardess walked the eastern part in the afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Day 6 – Fej\u00f8 to Nakskov<\/span>
Nice sailing with a bit of narrow straits and attentative navigation through the fjord into Naksov city centre. Very nice new harbourfront, docking just behind “postb\u00e5den”. Had a chat with the Captain who gave us advise on where to stop on our way back out.

We had a view to one of the main corn-silos, and as we were in peak season for harvesting it was very busy. We invited ourselves for a visit to the top – with a magnificent view of the city and most of Lolland (see pictures)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 7 – Nakskov to \u00c6r\u00f8<\/span>
Once again, the wind and waves decided our course. On the way out of the fjord, we stopped at Albuen, a very unique and picturesque long narrow isthmus that once housed around 20 families.

The weather forecast had predicted winds, but it turned out to be calm as we headed towards Langeland, where we planned to anchor off the west coast. However, once we passed the southern part, we encountered large waves, prompting us to head for \u00c6r\u00f8 instead, so that we could face the waves head-on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 8 – \u00c6r\u00f8 to T\u00e5rup
<\/span>Heading back home towards Kors\u00f8r we followed the the coast towards Nyborg, anchoring close to shore at T\u00e5rup. Nothing really interesting going on there \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 9 – T\u00e5rup to Kors\u00f8r<\/span>
A beautiful morning cruise. There was almost no wind or waves, and a magical light fog created an almost fairytale-like atmosphere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
