| Even I felt comfortable sailing under the Oresund bridgeit is so high and long. |

| Flakfortet fortress. You can see copenhagen in the distance. |

| Sailing back home from Flakfortet in the evening. (not us) |
 |
| The new cycle/pedestrian bridge in Copenhagen. |
 |
| The little mermaid (as you probably knew) |

| We saw this sailing cruise ship hull down last year with its 5 sails set. But notice its many exhaust pipes inamong the masts.... I expect it travels under engine power mostly. |
Just enjoyed an evening with Gurli and Mogens (Danish friends) having spent last night at Flakfortet, an artificial island built in 1910 to improve the defence of Copenhagen, an amazing place which you are at liberty to explore (in England much would be fenced off for safety but these Baltic nations leave more to your own judgement of the risk.)
We arrived at Flakfortet in the usual F6 to F5 having managed to extend our passage from the very small Swedish harbour of Skane by going round the Falsterbo point (rather than taking the canal through it) and by then sailing under the Oresund bridge. Was it worth it? Until the sea breeze kicked in I'd say yes, but later I wasn't so sure.
