Woke to find the day cool and grey with the anchorage less sheltered than before with wind from the NW. Omitted the morning swim as conditions were not good for avoiding jellyfish.

Decided not to land on the island, but had a good sail W to the relatively narrow channel which separates Fyn from Jutland. This is very wiggly, has 2 high bridges over it and about 2 knots of current against us. Surprisingly we managed to sail all the way through, but tacking through the combined road/rail bridge was a bit of a challenge. We were accompanied at this point by a German boat just a little larger than us. We pretty much kept up and kept each other company. Nearly all the other boats motored through. After a brief tea stop on a buoy opposite Middelfart we went a short way further and anchored in Gamborg Fjord.

Sailing through bridges is a bit stressful

Pics of the second bridge were only taken after passing through. Too busy on the approach
