The Limfjord is entered at Hals, a day sail north of
Grenaa. We intended to spend the night
in Hals, it is an interesting small town with a mediaeval castle, but the wind
had really picked up and the harbor is tiny with very little space to
maneuver. It was also full of local
boats.
We elected to press on to Aalborg about five hours from
the Skagerrak. There are three marinas In
Aalborg and we chose the largest because it looked the friendliest to visiting yachts. When we entered there was a strong cross wind
and in the process of coming between the poles I managed to get crossways in
the slip; I had chosen a slip with empty slips on either side so there were no
boats alongside to help us into the slip.
We managed to pull the bow around with a long line from the dock, an
exhausting process that took about half an hour. Obviously a bow thruster would have helped if
we had one.
Aalborg is an industrial city and the marina is a long
way from anywhere. Charles did find a bakery early in the morning closed of
course. A very nice local sailor in a car drove them both to a bakery that was
open and we had a delicious breakfast and replenished bread supplies.

| Sailing to Aalborg we could see the AIS for four ships with the name WIND - going to tend the wind mills. It was not uncommon to see a group of 18 wind mills together in this area. |

| Industrial Aalborg, heavy large boat traffic. the other end of the Limford is not as deep or industrial. |

| power plants. |

| When we passed an opening bridge he came through first. Awesome site. |
