Recovery day

Thursday 26 April

A necessarily quiet day of much rest, reading and recuperation. The crew did manage to stir themselves sufficiently to wander around the marina and introduce us to the nice lady in the harbour office – Havnekontor.

Ishøj Havn has the feel of a campsite about it: it sprawls around a basin of moorings, with a variety of as yet unidentified buildings dotted here and there at random. Car parks disguised as hard standing for boats in varying stages of readiness for the season materialise around every corner.

The atmosphere is pleasant and friendly, laundry is a bargain once one understands the system, and nobody seems to mind us rafting alongside this sturdy steel trip boat.
