The Swedish island Hven was set as the destination of the sailing trip, which is annually organized by our company SimCorp. On this trip we organize a number of different privately owned boats, to which the participants are invited to take off from different harbours on Sjælland, to sail towards Hven.

Hven is a small island, about as far away from Danmark, as from Sweden. The island is featured with lots of nature, a couple of farms, its own Whiskey distillery, the Tycho Brahe museum, and some tourist facilities.

Swedes and Danes like to do day-tours to this island to enjoy relaxed biking tours. He just enjoyed our own company, all gathered together in a small harbor on the island - all with grill and vine. We stayed up late, had fun and ate excessive amounts of food. The night we stayed on our boats. Early in the morning we sailed back to Denmark, after a Gammel Dansk - that's what the skippers used to kick start their bodies on cold winter days (brownish liquor, which tastes like coughing medicine).

This trip was my first experience with a small sailing boat on the open sea. I have tried it earlier in Switzerland on a lake, but that is not comparable at all. The open sea adds a rough component to it, which makes the sailing a bit more adventurous. I think this was just the beginning of my sailing career.
