Today we sailed from Thyboron to Hanstholm at the very top of Danmark.
Although most pilots write that Hanstholm Harbour does not allow yachts to enter we were there several times since 1997 and never got any complaint. However there are no services at all (apart from a doubtful public toilet) but there is a supermarket , a cafetaria and a hotel in the harbour and a shopping center up the hill, a 15 min walk away. Hanstholm is a very suitable departure port for a crossing of the Skagerak to Mandal in Norway because it shortens the way from Thyboron from 90to 65 miles making a daytrip is possible.
View over hanstholm harbour.
Yachts are allowed to take a berth at the very end of the harbour as can be seen on the foto.This time our place was even confirmed by the harbour master (it was a women so maybe it should be mistress?).
Yachts in Hanstholm harbour with a special place for YELLOWDREAM ( the tiny yellow spot right from the middle).
In the harbour area thre are a few shops among them a supermarket so a longer stay in case of bad weather is no problem.
The town of Hanstholm itself is over the hilltop at the foto and a 15 minute walk. You can use a long starwy that covers most of the hill.
Hanstholm is just over the cliff.
If the weather stays as promised we will make the Skagerrak to Mandal crossing tomorrow .
