Rolf Menzinger @rolfmenzinger.wsocial.eu · 17/10/2026We had good wind on the crossing to the island of #Møn. Overall, it felt like there was a lot of wind in the Baltic Sea this year. #balticsea #sailing #sailboat #zero #sailingdenmark 1301 30

Rolf Menzinger @rolfmenzinger.wsocial.eu · 14/10/2026Blue-green algae seen from the #ZERO #sailing boat. You can also see the huge carpets of blue-green algae from the satellite. They tend to form in the Baltic Sea in August, as the Baltic Sea reaches 20 degrees in many places and the nutrient input from agriculture favours the growth of theese algae. 060 6
Rolf Menzinger @rolfmenzinger.wsocial.eu · 13/10/2026The small #harbour of #Kåseberga in Sweden gave us shelter for the night. We visited nearby a somehow mysterious stone parc, being setup up by the #vikings around 1000 years ago. #Zero #sailing #stoneparc #swedensailing 0141 14

Rolf Menzinger @rolfmenzinger.wsocial.eu · 09/10/2026We arrived in Hasle near Rœnne after 2 days on the Baltic Sea island of #Bornholm.

Rolf Menzinger @rolfmenzinger.wsocial.eu · 05/10/2026Yesterday 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. #marinelife #koegebay #shortwaves #dancingboat 0150 15

Rolf Menzinger @rolfmenzinger.wsocial.eu · 19/09/2026Yesterday, 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. #sailing #Zero #pollution 0110 11
Rolf Menzinger @rolfmenzinger.wsocial.eu · 18/09/2026Yesterday was quite windy and wavy and only a few boats ventured out onto the water. It was quite a #sporty trip. We travelled about 40 nautical miles in the #Kattegat. #sailing #tavelbyboat #sailboat #scalar28 #waves #wind 1232 23
Rolf Menzinger @rolfmenzinger.wsocial.eu · 17/09/2026We 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. #sailaway #sailboat #Zero #nature 1212 21

Rolf Menzinger @rolfmenzinger.wsocial.eu · 12/09/2026A regatta in various boat classes has been taking place here in the harbour of the Royal Yacht Club for 3 days.

Rolf Menzinger @rolfmenzinger.wsocial.eu · 10/09/2026I had to change the manual water pump at the pantry because it was leaking.

Rolf Menzinger @rolfmenzinger.wsocial.eu · 06/09/2026We had a reasonable sailing day with a stern wind and waves that rocked the boat quite a bit. Fortunately, nobody got sick. Have you ever felt sick while sailing? In the evening we were rewarded with a fantastic sunset. I love the endless northern summer light. #zero #sailing #sunset #sweden 0250 25
Rolf Menzinger @rolfmenzinger.wsocial.eu · 05/09/2026Our route to Sweden takes us via the small island of Anholt.
