Stuck in Hvide sande

15-07-2010



Hi Folks,
Its been some time since the last blog but its quite difficult to get an internet connection.
We are in Hvide Sande now and waiting for better weather , that is less wind because its blowing beaufort 7 now.
I'm writing this in the local bakery (that's no joke!) where there are two free internet acces points. So I must hurry because there are more waiting .
I'll be back as soon as possible.
....................................................................................
I'm back again , now in a local hotel.

the stay at Esbjerg was longer than planned because of the weather but at 13-07 we finally could leave , however without a suitable wind (head-on).

We sailed to Hvide Sande , a rather small fishing village but still very good equipped because of the many , mainly German , tourists.
There is only a very small yacht harbour which is actually a part of the fishing harbour and in summer dedicated to pleasure boats. There are about 10 berths , unless rafted.However the facilities are exellent and all shops are nearby.

Things seem to repeat.
Again we are locked by the stormy weather , together with 8 other sailing boats , one of them a german sailer with a small old boat who is sailing along for a very long time alone.
So we go to the very nice beach and walk around in the village.
Today there is wind up to 25 knots and the swimmers are not allowed by the guards to go further than hip deep.
However there are some experienced kite surfers which are very exiting to look at.
We will wait for a better day and then go for Thyboron at the entrance of the Limfjord.
That gives us a possibility to change our planned route to inland waters for a while.

pictures will come in later:

I'm afraid the pictures will have to wait. The wlan of the hotel computer which is the only one with upload facility hase broken down.
But this gives me time to make more pictures!
Althgough the weather is excellent , the wind is still force 7 beaufort (15 meters/sec). A warning came out this morning again so it's waiting at least another day.
