Yesterday I posted that the weather today would be significantly different in that we might get some rain. That happened, at around lunchtime but that wasn’t the sole reason that we’d decided to stay put – the wind was blowing quite strongly from the east so we would be battling against it as we made our way slowly back to Fehmarn. As such, I don’t have anything of note to report other than we came across another Cruising Association boat in the old harbour, a Nordship 43 belonging to Stephen & Jane Beales. They kindly invited us on board for coffee but as they had company and we had shopping to do, we declined but had a chat with them from the quayside. They keep Tabaluga in Augustenborg, it’s nice that we now have been there so at least we know what people are talking about when they say that that is where they overwinter.

The rain cleared later in the afternoon so we went for a walk in town and bought a few more items of groceries and noticed some more old buildings, which I’ve included here. Tomorrow the wind should have eased so we’re going to a new harbour for us, the only one we haven’t been to on the island of Ærø, called Søby. Unless, that is, we change our minds tomorrow, given the winds.
