Blue-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.

The 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

We arrived in Hasle near Rœnne after 2 days on the Baltic Sea island of #Bornholm. The crossing from Sweden went without a hitch, but the rollers got stuck in the recovery hose when we were hauling down the #gennaker. #sailing #denmarksaling #marinelife

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. #marinelife #koegebay #shortwaves #dancingboat

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. #sailing #Zero #pollution

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.

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. #zero #sailingwork #waterpump #sailboat #sailingsoonagain #repairaftercafe

We 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
