On our way to Sweden



Just before we reached the marina Joanne took this dramatic picture. It appeared that we could reach up and touch the cloud. Luckily it did not develop any rain, and we docked in good weather.















Entering Goteborg.

Goteborg is a big city and we are right in the center at "Bommen" marina













Immediately upon reaching the west coast of Sweden it was evident that the scenery in Sweden is totally different than Denmark.
Lots of rock. Sometime very close to the boat, but we had 100 ft of water under the keel.














Once we rounded the island of Laeso and altered our course east it was much better going. We had to cross a main shipping lane and encountered lots of large boat traffic.
The ferry on our port side passed us by approx. 500 feet. It was the ferry from Frederic town Denmark to Gotenborg Sweden















After our stop in Hals we left Jutland and started our trip to Sweden. We made one stop on an island "Leaso" between Jutland and the Swedish coast. We stayed there one night, and continued on our way the next day.
As you can see by the picture the seas were not friendly!!!
