Denne uges togt startede søndag d. 6. september fra Nyborg
Efter alle var påmønstret, vi er ni ombord denne uge, sejlede vi til Kerteminde.
Vi skulle under Storebæltsbroen. Det er en flot oplevelse, at nærme sig broen og komme under den.
Vi sejlede for sejl ud til broen, og derefter måtte vi starte motoren, da vinden var lige imod, og så sejle resten af turen til Kerteminde for motor.
Humøret var højt, det var dejligt at komme afsted.
I dag har vi haft en skøn tur til Tunø.
Da vi sejlede ud fra Kerteminde øvede vi “mand over bord”, hvor vi skulle redde en fender bundet til en spand.
Den blev fanget alle tre gange, vi lavede øvelsen, så vi sejlede trygge videre.
Vi havde vinden ind agten fra, så vi have begge sejl oppe, og vi spilede genuaen med spiler bommen, så vi lavede en “butterfly”, så storsejlet og genuaen var i hver sin side, det gav noget ekstra fart.
Vi havde solrig og dejlig varm tur, da vinden kom ind agten fra.
Da vi kom i havn, var vi nogle, som fik en dejlig kølig dukkert fra stranden inden aftensmaden.

THIS WEEK’S SAILING TRIP STARTED ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, FROM NYBORG
Once everyone was on board, there were nine of us sailing this week, we set off for Kerteminde.
We had to sail under the Great Belt Bridge. It is a beautiful experience approaching the bridge and sailing underneath it.
We sailed under sail towards the bridge, but then we had to start the engine as the wind was coming directly towards us. We motored the rest of the way to Kerteminde.
Everyone was in high spirits, and it was lovely to be on our way.
Today we had a wonderful sail to Tunø.
As we sailed out of Kerteminde, we practised a “man overboard” drill, where we had to rescue a fender tied to a bucket.
We managed to catch it all three times we did the exercise, so we sailed on feeling confident and safe.
The wind was coming from behind us, so we had both sails up. We used the spinnaker pole to hold out the genoa, creating a “butterfly” sail configuration, with the mainsail and genoa on opposite sides. This gave us some extra speed.
We had a sunny and wonderfully warm sail with the wind coming from behind us.
When we arrived in the harbour, some of us enjoyed a lovely, refreshing swim from the beach before dinner.
