Kuling i Kattegat 🌊⛵
Klokken 9 kastede vi fortøjningerne og satte kursen fra Sejrø mod Hundested. Det skulle vise sig at blive en dag, vi sent kommer til at glemme.
Det har været en helt igennem fantastisk dag på havet – og jeg må indrømme, at Oceans of Hope virkelig fik en omgang tæsk af bølgerne i dag. Vinden var i kuling 14-18 m/s, vi nåede en topfart på hele 11,8 knob, og bølgerne rejste sig op til 2-3 meter. Det var vildt, fascinerende og en kæmpe oplevelse.
Undervejs stødte vi på en lille udfordring, da det ene sejl ikke ville folde sig ordentligt sammen, da vi skulle tage det ind. Det betød, at vi måtte bruge lidt ekstra tid, mens skipper fik styr på situationen. Heldigvis blev det løst stille og roligt, og vi kunne fortsætte turen.
Imens stod en af de andre fra besætningen og jeg nede i kabyssen for at lave frokost til resten af holdet. Det er lidt af en udfordring at lave mad, når båden gynger voldsomt i en kuling, men hold op, hvor havde vi det sjovt. Der blev grinet en hel del, mens vi forsøgte at holde både os selv og gryderne på plads.
Efter en lang og oplevelsesrig sejlads ankom vi trygt og sikkert til Hundested, hvor vi fik lagt Oceans of Hope godt til kaj.
Endnu en dag fyldt med udfordringer, grin, teamwork og store naturoplevelser. Det er dage som denne, der minder mig om, hvorfor livet til søs er noget helt særligt.
Gale in the Kattegat 🌊⛵
At 9:00 a.m. we cast off our lines and set course from Sejerø to Hundested. It turned out to be a day we won't soon forget.
It was an absolutely incredible day at sea. I have to admit that Oceans of Hope really took a beating from the waves today. The wind was blowing at gale force, between 14 and 18 m/s. We reached a top speed of 11.8 knots, and the waves built to 2–3 metres. It was wild, fascinating, and an unforgettable experience.
Along the way we ran into a small challenge when one of the sails wouldn't furl properly as we were taking it in. This meant we had to spend a little extra time while the skipper sorted out the situation. Fortunately, everything was handled calmly, and we were soon able to continue our journey.
Meanwhile, another crew member and I were down in the galley preparing lunch for the rest of the crew. Cooking while the boat is pitching heavily in gale-force winds is quite a challenge, but we had so much fun. There was plenty of laughter as we tried to keep both ourselves and the pots in place.
After a long and eventful sail, we arrived safely in Hundested, where we secured Oceans of Hope alongside the quay.
Another day filled with challenges, laughter, teamwork, and breathtaking experiences in nature. Days like this remind me why life at sea is something truly special.
