We are on our way again!
After two days of strong winds up to force 7 ( > 25 knots) the weather is stabilizing and the wind gone back to a nice force 4.
Today we will sail to Thyboron at 43 miles. Thyboron is situated at the entrance of the Limfjord (named after the lime cliffs) which is a chain of lakes and canals from the western to the eastern coast of danmark.
Among sailers its often used to escape bad west wind weather in the Northsea and go to the Baltic instead.
We had a nice sail most of the day but in the wind decreased so much that we had to use the engine again.
The steep cliffs of bovbjerg with the Bovbjerg lighthouse were a major waypoint.
The village of Bovbjerg is wonderfully situated besides the cliffs.
However about 8 miles before Thyboron the wind increased firmly to force 6 and we had a very fast sail under main only with a tail wind.
After a 9 hour sail we entered the harbour of Thyboron and got a nice place right in front of the service building annex fish restaurant which is the old fish auction building.
The small city of Thyboron is situated at the Western entrance of the limfjord.This entrance originates from a storm about 100 years ago when the dunes between the North sea and the inner limfjord where broken. Later this was transformed into the Thyboron canal which now forms the entrance.Thyboron mainly is a fishing town but tourism is coming in more and more.
The entrance of the Thyboron canal.
The yacht harbour with the restaurant/service building at the back.
The beach is just next to the harbour. Only at strong west winds it gets a bit "sandy"!
After a short stay to fill up with food , diesel and camping gaz (which is not available in norway!) we will sail on to Hanstholm , the most North-west harbour of Danmark.
To be continued!
