Our friends Fritzie and Thomas invited us to join them for the first leg of their two-week sailing holiday. Setting sail from Greifswald, Germany, we embarked on a journey across the Baltic Sea to Bornholm Island, Denmark. The wind was our ally for only part of the trip; the rest of the way, we relied on engine power. Despite the unpredictable winds, we thoroughly enjoyed our Baltic adventure.
Once in port, we relaxed, enjoyed the cuisine provided by Chef Thomas and explored the port village of Ronne.
