The White Cliffs of Møn (16/8-10)

This second day of Around the World with Zephyr and Bent has been the longest so far.
Even though Christian and I had been working like hell yesterday and we went to bed not long before the birds woke up, we was called for duty by captain Bent early in the morning, when you guys, reading this blog was still at sleep. 
We had to move the boat up to the diesel-pump, fill it up together with the two 20 liter extra cans.
(oh yes, we're still sailing most of time though ;-)

The Køge Bay was not very nice to us this morning, but the boat speed was alright, since we had some nice 12 m/s wind speed. The only problem was that the rocking, rolling waves we got indicated at least a double wind speed here in this shallow ocean. But great, no one got sick.

One of the big challenges of today, was to hit the narrow and shallow Bøge Stream - a manmade channel with a depth only 20 cm deeper than our keel. The waves was higher than the boat-hull. We turned out again, took the longer route (20 nm) around Møn island, which also Bents friend, Stig thought was a better idea. 

Another great idea with this route, was our experience of seeing one of Denmark most famous nature attractions: Møns Klint - from now on renamed to The White Cliffs of Møn. :-)
