Gedser to Orth, 58nm
Thursday, 25 July
Last night we had a great meal and relax with our Quattordici friends Monique and Marc.
After we got bashed on the dock we were nervous going to dinner and leaving the boat, but Marc has a camera on his boat so we could see that a boat was coming close. David quickly ran back to encourage them to park away from us and we drank his health!
However another much more responsible boat did park next to us, it seems La Bamba is irresistible.
We invited our friends back; Marc had a look around
Our Lazarette is a good size
Next morning we set off in light winds (I was glad of this after the strong winds yesterday) and put up our sails. Our jib furler was stiff and wouldn’t unfurl so David had to twist it out. It seems there was some damage after all. David called our insurance company.
Despite this we had a nice sail
However later, when the wind died, the jib furled in perfectly and we were very relieved.
So glad La Bamba is OK!
So we had a while motoring watching for cargo ships and ferries
David relaxed
The crew worked hard
We took down our Danish courtesy flag, and put up our German one
The wind filled in again so we enjoyed a late afternoon sail (with a perfectly furling jib!) and arrived in Orth in time for flammekuchen.
Quattordici arrived before us and we moored alongside!
