Yes another 'borg. Huge contrast to yesterday where in Svendborg the sun was burning hot - the pic shows a bit of the old harbour, looking down from the old town and you can just see SIRENA IV's bottom if you look v hard just to the left of the concrete silo that every port seems to have.
Today was rain, torrents of it. Still, we're not made of sugar, so on with the wet weather gear and off we go. No wind as per forecast so motored a relatively short passage of 16 miles westwards along the south coast of Fyn to a small town called Faaborg (in Danish that's one 'a' with a little circle over it). Pic does the weather justice if not the town - all is grey and wet today.
The current was with us as we left Svendborg and a good thing too. We swept under the high road bridge at almost 8kn ... coming the other way we'd have been down to 3kn and the rain for twice as long.
A late lunch with a hot drink and some book reading in our cosy cabin was much anticipated, and very welcome when it came.
Finally the rain eased enough for a stroll round town - it's small and very pretty. You'll have to trust us on that because one didn't take their phone and the other had a flat battery. Tsk. Nic had a nice coffee & cookie while Lesley rootled around in the charity shops, though no bargains this time.
There are lots of 100 year old wooden sailing boats here, as in Svendborg - 1, 2 and 3 masts and all lovingly maintained. It's a real thing around Denmark, and on the southern coast of Fyn especially.
