| Yacht approaching Grenå marina |
Bad weather conditions, strong winds ( against us ), heavy rain and lots of motion at sea made us extend our stay in Grenå marina. We had some nice walks around the sandy beach and visited the town and museum, and enjoyed fresh fish in old harbour area, where we saw some nice old traditional boats. Sean also had a chance to change the fuel filters, and when the weather changed and we had some sunshine, I could do some painting in the cockpit.

During our stay in Grenå , I had a haircut , which was a different experience, having my hair dried under a wide hair dryer attachment using only hair dresser’s fingers ( no comb or brush ) , and she called it ‘ sailor’s hair ’. End result was better when I did some finishing touches later .

July 20th, we left Grenå , sailing south in light winds for 33 miles, and anchored ENE of Ronnen island, in the NE corner of Begtrup Vig. Anchorages in Denmark are quite different to my experience in Scotland, being more exposed and crowded. But we also met lots of interesting boats.

Spent a day at this anchorage with near gale warnings with 30mt. chain.
Next morning, left when the gale warning cancelled with forecast of decreasing winds, and started sailing south towards Little Belt. However, rain increased with poor visibility and wind started to increase against us , so we changed our direction towards Store Belt, turned onto a run to head down east side of Fyn.

| July 22nd, 2011. Enjoying summer ! |
We ended up with a day and night sailing and arrived in Kerteminde in early hours of morning, on Saturday, july 23rd , after 76 miles of sailing in strong winds. We first anchored at bathing beach , south of Kerteminde harbour and after a short rest and sleep, entered Kerteminde old harbour and found out all berths were reserved for the weekend ( old wooden boats race would start that weekend from there ), so we entered the yatch harbour and found a place on hammerhead , just inside enterance. Strong southerly winds stopped us again for a couple of days and we enjoyed seeing old wooden boats in Kerteminde.
