A cup of tea

A long-awaited visit from Il Capitano’s friend, Sir D., and his missus.

A slow ride through the lock to the Trekroner Fortress just outside the harbour for a cup of tea.

A warm day—both in terms of weather and good companionship.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cool it

We’ve been debating the pros and cons of an extravagant luxury appliance for M/Y Cava for quite some time.

In light of the upcoming days and nights spent en route to Palermo, and the occasional cruise with friends, we decided to buy a fridge. It is a bit of a challenge power-wise since we need everything running off the batteries.

We found one with good specs at a decent price compared to leading brands.

(Woop-woop) It’s the sound of the police

It must be her great looks..

We were , once again, stopped by the police. As usual friendly and talkative.

They asked if we had life-jackets on board, which we said we did. After a little pause – they then asked if they could see them. They could.

We talked them into doing a high-speed fly-by for a great photo-op

Thanks for stopping by.

Let’s spend the night

The first layover on the boat since arriving in Copenhagen. We initially planned to visit Saltholm, a very shallow island/bank just outside Copenhagen, known for its rich protected birdlife.

However, as only about 10% is accessible until mid-July, we decided to just relax and swim at anchor outside the old Dragør fortress.


On Saturday, we picked up the assistant chief stewardess (Miss C.) in the old Dragør harbour. Il Capitano had a brief chat with an old colleague and fellow captain, before refueling and heading back to Molen, stopping for a swing of course.

A visit from our CITO

Our CITO (Chief IT Officer) and Il Capitano’s friend from the early days of multimedia stuff and things, stopped by for a short cruise and a chat.

We forgot to take a picture. No biggie. CITO made one using his homemade AI image generator.


Thanks for stopping by.
