From Kattegat to Kiel: Sailing the eastern coast of Denmark | Ep. 12

In this episode, I'll be sailing from Kattegat in Denmark, to Kiel in Germany. I start off from Hals with a good breeze, before getting becalmed half way to Bønnerup. After getting creative with my phone to get internet, I run my gas outboard flat out, before discovering an expanding crack in my outboard bracket. I'm forced to return to Bønnerup by relentless chop when trying to round the cape. I'm later told that the cape is infamous amongst locals for just that. I then anchor to save money, as the Norwegian kroners are in freefall, but decide to head back inti the marina as yet another thunderstorm moves in. On my way to Grenaa, I'm surprised by a friendly visit from a local sailor. I then wait out a gale in Grenaa, before sailing to Ebeltoft on a nice sunbreeze. There I get to see an age of sail frigatte called "Jylland", and I install new led lanterns. I then sail to Tunø, where I try to find a spot for paragliding. The winds good, but I cant fint a suitable launch. I then go for a shortcut towards Fredericia and Lillebælt strøm, bringing my keel inches above the bottomn when cutting straight across shifting sand banks. After a night anchoring next to a full marina, I sail south to Lillebælt, the strongest current in all of Denmark, at a whooping 5 knots! I spend 16 hours waiting for it to turn, before getting through. The conditions on the other side prove challenging, as the current going into the waves from a weak breeze puts my ouyboard propeller out of the water, with barely enough wind to fill my sails. But I make it out in the end, and the wind picks up, leaving me no alternative but sailing into the next marina in Assens. There I get some parts for my rig, before heading to Sønderborg, the southernmost part of Denmark. I spend a week there, as a storm in the North sea sends southerly gales my way, and I get myself a new outboard bracket, amongst other much needed parts. After doing a dive to scrape barnacles off of my hull (as I'd noticed that the boat was handling weirdly), I get spooked by a seal, which tickled my feet, but I manage to remove the worst of it. With an extra knot gained, the rest of the journey to Kiel was literally smooth sailing, and I finally arrive after nearly a month from leaving Hals, having sailied through the worst august weather Denmark has seen in years. ----- 00:00 - Intro 00:27 - Back on open water in Kattegat 01:03 - Row row row your boat 01:24 - Engine, and ensuing issues 02:26 - Becalmed in the silver sea 02:35 - Thoughts about my electric engine 03:24 - Bønnerup harbor 03:51 - 1st attempt at leaving Bønnerup 05:10 - Anchoring to save money 05:49 - Thunderstorm moving in 06:48 - Leaving Bønnerup 07:19 - A friendly visit at sea 08:00 - The final hour is always the longest 08:22 - Waiting out a gale in Grenaa 08:39 - Sailing to Ebeltoft, the boat handles weirdly 10:09 - Upgrading my boat in Ebeltoft 11:22 - Playing too much AC: Black flags 12:10 - Sailing to Tunø 12:42 - Exploring Tunø 13:43 - Sailing south towards the mainland 14:10 - Treacherous shallows 15:12 - Anchoring, the marina was full 15:39 - Single handed high seas piracy 15:50 - The infamous Lillebælt current 16:46 - Light winds into the chop 17:08 - The wind picks up, having to sail into Assens harbor 17:39 - Replacing some parts for my rig in Assens 17:50 - Sailing to Sønderborg 18:50 - Weather hold in Sønderborg, buying more upgrades 19:24 - Sailing to Germany 20:08 - Approaching Kiel 20:29 - The end of eastern Denmark, and Northeastern Germany
