    On Sunday morning we continued from Anholt island towards Helsingør. While preparing Suwena for a sea a SAR vessel left the harbour with blue lights flashing. Immediately afterwards we heard on VHF a pan pan call for all ships. There

    The view from Ven to Sound and Denmark

    Finally the temperature was 25 degrees already in the morning. While sipping morning coffee in a cockpit we discussed that should we go to the island of Ven or directly to Copenhagen. The sun was shining nicely and we went

    It is just 13 nautical miles from Ven to Copenhagen. En route the country and the scenery changed. Small idyllic island changed into big metropolis and the red-white courtesy flag was raised to the right spreader again. We wanted to

    Gudhjem in Bornholm

    On Wednesday we were in a hurry to leave. We were already a few days behind our travel plans and island of Bornholm together with Poland and Germany are still ahead of us. After the strong wind there was no

    Kołobrzeg, the Sunshine Coast of Poland 17.7. – 18.7.

    The sand beach of Kołobrzeg

    It was great to cast off the lines in Bornholm and turn Suwena’s bow again towards a new country, Poland. Our journey in Denmark lasted five days longer than planned due to high winds and we were eager to continue

    The trip from Kołobrzeg to Świnoujście is 50 nautical miles. Weather forecast predicted force 3 to 4 from south-west which means an offshore wind. Also the swell from the blow on previous day was getting smaller. The wind force was

    Suwena in Seedorf in Germany

    The wind was again not cooperating and the blow was dead on the nose. That meant we had to use the iron genny to travel from Poland to the island of Rügen in Germany. Originally our aim was to stop

    This year’s summer has been rather cold and the first real heat wave arrived on the last week of July. We enjoyed the sun and cozy Seedorf but the clock was ticking and it was time to move on. Getting
