The Bridge again and Rodvig again

After our 'hardly left the house' day yesterday, we were up early and keen to be off ... well, one of us anyway. Malmo is just north of the famous Oresund Bridge (that features in The Bridge scandi noir series - yes I know we go on about it but this is the last time, honest). So we passed under it by 0930. It really is a thing of curvey beauty. You would not think from the pic that the clearance is more than twice our mast height.

Then 25 miles in a straight line back to Rodvig, scene of The Accident. Only not straight because we had to avoid a variety of ships. This completes our tour around The Sound between Denmark and Sweden. Now we'll be back to Danish islands. At Rodvig we were able to go alongside, thus avoiding the jump off the bow - which we have been doing ... very carefully ... but it's nice to avoid it in this particular harbour.

One of today's tasks en route was a bit of de-spidering. There's always been a few living in the deck fittings (not inside) but this year they seem to have gone mad. Webs everywhere. A few spiders were thus committed to the deep, where we could catch them. It seems word went round and the rest are hiding. 

We managed to get to the supermarket & back before the rain set in - life is so much easier when going somewhere for the second time. Now the storm has passed and it's a lovely peaceful evening with the sun sinking down amongst the masts.
