Day Cruise to Maasholm

Jack Crowe

Beautiful sail North from Laboe on a beam reach to Danish waters before reversing course to Maasholm. Clew broke on 140% Genoa causing some grief. First box mooring on helm for me. Difficult!

A sparkling day on the water, literally! Easterley winds kept the temperature cool despite complete blue skies and sun. A lovely, relaxing sail at sea today ending in a short motor up the picturesque River Schlei. Jack played a blinder and got us into our box mooring at the second attempt. It was a very tight turn to get in with little room to manoeuvre. Massholm is charming. Dined in Am Schleieck Restaurant (seafood) - highly recommended. A good day for nature spotting. A porpoise joined us for a while and later a white tailed eagle flew overhead during our post dinner walk. A deep red orange sunset over the marina highlighted wind vanes in the distance and brought the day to a close.
