Klintholm to Malmö
The cliffs of Mön

50 Nm, 8 hours, fog for the first hour, then clear blue skies and 25 degrees and sunny. No wind. Shiny sea

Sailed on autopilot from Klintholm on Mön to Malmö Dockan Marina. Felt nice to go in the fog with Radar and AIS. It was different in the 80s when fog meant dead count and great uncertainty. Today you have full control of the large ships both with speed and direction and time for "encounter". Despite all the electronics, we note the position, speed, distance and direction every half hour in old-fashioned charts. If we were to get rid of electricity supply, we could, after all, navigate the old-fashioned way with a dead count.

In the traffic separation zones around Falsterbo Rev, there was quite a lot of traffic to keep track of, but without problems. It is to be noted that the large merchant ships run at high speed and it is always best to weigh clearly in good time so that they see what intention we have.

We docked in "Dockan", walked over to our apartment, had a sundowner, a shower and spagetti carbonara with some Italian red wine and it just feels nice to be home again
