The porpoise on the Genoa accompanies me on my sailing trips. The Genoa was designed by the Italian-based artist Elton Kore.

Yesterday I took a trip on the ZERO from Koege to the #Arken Museum, which is about 12 nautical miles away. Arken exhibits modern contemporary art by Danish #artists.
The #sailing trip was a bit wobbly as the good wind produced lots of short #waves.

There is so much disinformation about the "Super El Nino" floating around the internet b/c mentioning any sort of mechanism that affects weather seems to start a shouting match.
So here's a good video that gives you JUST the info you need in under 2 minutes.

Yesterday, when entering the Sound off #Copenhagen at Helsingoer, this freighter let out white smoke. At first I thought it was on fire, but after 5 minutes it stopped. Presumably it was burning heavy fuel oil that it is no longer allowed to use to enter the harbour.

Tucholsky veröffentlichte "Rosen auf den Weg gestreut" unter seinem Pseudonym Theobald Tiger am 31. März 1931 in "Die Weltbühne"
Tucholsky richtet seinen Angriff deshalb nicht nur gegen die Faschisten selbst.
Er verspottet vor allem den beschwichtigenden Umgang mit ihnen.

We had a wonderful #sailing day with 5 bft wind and 5-7 knots through the water. At midday we left the southern archipelago off Gothenburg and are now sailing in the open #Kattegatt towards #Copenhagen.

Did an artist create this structure from flotsam and jetsam?
Was it a project with young people who collected plastic waste?

We have sailed with the ZERO into the northern archipelago of Gothenburg and are now resting on the island of Rörö. A beautiful harbour offers us shelter. There are shallow beaches and a nature reserve that we want to hike through tomorrow.

A regatta in various boat classes has been taking place here in the harbour of the Royal Yacht Club for 3 days. Children, young people and their families dominate the field. It's great that the yacht club is actively involved in youth work.

I had to change the manual water pump at the pantry because it was leaking.
A comparison of the two pumps on the foto shows that the seals of the old pump had retracted. That's why it was leaking.
