Boran's Notes
After sitting out one day of stronger wind in Klintholm, this trip had greater uncertainty than the two before. The wind forecast was quite calm or a gentle breeze perhaps, so the travel time to Sweden (Smygehuk) would be longer than a daylight-day. And I could not count on moving under sail alone.
So I was prepared to stop short at Falsterbo, or even at Denmark, should there be no wind at all. But briefly after departure, I found that the wind was enough to motorsail at around 5 knots, so Smygehuk was a realistic destination. Towards the end of the trip, the wind even picked up a little, and I was going without engine for two hours.
Arriving in Smygehuk in darkness but easy because of calm wind.
Very happy to arrive in Sweden. Mission accomplished. The rest are details.
