Ep6 | Sailing the Kattegat past high-speed ferries & helicopters

In this episode, we hop from port to port on the Kattegat Sea along the east coast of Denmark.

We sail from Fredrikstad Marina to Sæby Marina to Hals Marina to Grenaa Marina and finally down to Samsø Island, which would be our last stop in Denmark.
The calm anchorage of Samsø quickly becomes our new favorite anchorage - although, it could've been the mesmerizing cloudy display on the reflective waters that caught our eye the most.

Along the way, we discover some charming coastal villages, the boys try out steering at the helm and we encounter a few challenges as we both get used to the sails, navigating, docking and each other (disagreeing about navigational maneuvers & the reality of danger). Sailing next to helicopter navy training & in the pathway of 2 high-speed ferries were not comfortable situations to be in (at least for Liv ;) ). Eivind's frustration rested more in docking ELANE in Hals where we had to try out a new way of docking for the first time.
The weather was shifting from rain to sunshine, but we realized that when sailing, it's all about the wind direction and speed, not the beauty of the skies, that determines a fun or comfortable passage.

Thankfully, we could rest & enjoy the scenery at the last anchorage in Denmark (for us) before we head off for the great endeavor of transiting the Kiel Canal! (In the next episode.)
