Phil and Sarah found a jazz festival on the first sunday of their stay. This was on the other side of the island, a few miles from Augustenborg at Mommark.

This anchorage was less idyllic than the surroundings!

Faaborg - still one of our favourite places in Denmark - very pretty with excellent shops, and a very good chandlery.

There are also several museums and galleries, which Annabel always visits.

Annabel finds a more relaxing pastime

After the peace of Kerteminde, above, Ballen on Samso, was quite hectic! We arrived just before a huge storm, and one of the most spectacular lightning displays I have ever seen.

Annabel, Phil and Sarah took the opportunity to get out the bicycles to have a look around Samso: apparently it is known as the breadbasket of Denmark. They even found a vineyard.

The next day, as we approached Middelfart, it was quite blustery, and we were pleased to find a nice sheltered anchorage on the south side of the town that evening.

It was quite a nice anchorage, until the wind turned through 180 degrees - then it became unpleasant; Phil had to row the girls back to the boat singly in very rough conditions, and then we had to battle against the wind to find some shelter at the other end of the bay. Luckily the wind died down in the evening. Below: the quiet after the storm.
