Going on from Hov to Assens

26-08-2010

Lucky for us the weather turned better a day earlier as expected.


Last view at Hov. As you can see the weather was excellent.

On Wednesday we started for a long trip to Assens at the southern side of the "Lille Belt".
Although its a quite long leg I expected quite some current in favorite in the Lille Belt.
And I was right . Already long before the entrance the current was over 0.5 knots and in the narrow parts it was over 2 knots so we made speed over ground of up to 7.8knots!


The Northern entrance to the Lille Belt. Under the bridge the current reached 2.5 knots!

Earlier as expected we arrived at Assens. This will be the last Danish harbour before we go to Germany again.

When we wanted to tank diesel the pumpstation appeared to be closed! A fellow yachtsman told us that they were building a new one but alrady had to close the old one. Can be very problematic because the only other possibility is a 30 minutes walk , but the friendly Danish yachtsman brought me with his car!
Strange enough the diesel and petrol tank possibility is still mentioned in the new Danish Sejlerens pilot which is freely available , also in this harbour(!).
Even at the maps at the end of the jetties the pumpstation is still mentioned. When I told the harbourmaster he wasn't very impressed by my comp[lained and didn't even sorry. I'm afraid there will be no change in the pilots next year!
Anyway, we are only here for one night and will leave tomorrow for Damp marina in Germany.
