4 September 2017 - Djerø to Ærøskøbing

The place where we anchored is called Skorvens Vig. Vig means a wide bay, which in Shetland is called a Wick. It only gives shelter from some wind directions and feels like anchoring in the middle of the sea, so is a fine weather option.

Brief trip ashore as there was not time yesterday. The island is small enough not to bother taking the bikes. We found it similar to recent islands but on a smaller scale. The village contained several traditional style old farm buildings but everything was rather quiet, with the shop not opening until the afternoon. The scoop of the day was finding a roadside self service stall selling honey, so we bought a few jars. You would not think they get much passing trade as during our walk we only encountered 3 items of traffic: 1 tractor and 2 bikes.

Good downwind sail to Ærøskøbing which is on the island of Ærø. It seemed a shame to waste a good wind on a short sail, but we wanted to visit this island and also to return the opposite way to Fåborg in a day or 2. Not happy with the anchoring options so berthed in the marina.
