We woke up at six after nine hours uninterrupted sleep. The sun just about showed over the horizon, causing the morning mist to vanish. Dead calm and almost painfully beautiful. After a quick breakfast we left at 7.45 to arrive at the next port early. R�dvig on the southern part of Island Sjaelland. 25 miles north.

First we rounded the eastern point of M�en, with the steep 'klint' which is a slope of sand that just raises from the sea and some 85 meters high if I rememebr it correctly. See the picture from yesterday's blog entry.


Since it was calm, and we motored, and weren't in a hurry, we stopped halfway to R�dvig on a little bank to try and catch a cod or two. Now I would have loved to be able to tell you that we caught a cod weighing a kilo and then cooked it for dinner later tonight.

Obviously that was the plan. Nothing or no one alive in the water showed any interest whatsoever in our lures. As a result we had to consider other options available for dinner. Luckily enogh there were a couple of restaurants to be found just opposite the harbour.


We kept motoring the last 8 miles too and entered the busy little fishing port at 3PM. Definetely a nicer village than Klintholm, with a very lively fishing port and a shipyard.

Shortly after the docklines were tied we went for a hike on the beach towards the 'Stevns Klint' just east of the village. Not as high as the famous Klint on M�en but very interesting with lots of flintstone, sandstone and some fossiles amongst it too. After this we found some fish at one of the restaurants.

Not likely fresh from the local fishermen but it filled the void to some degree.
