In the first week of december, we had a storm called Bodil in Denmark. The water in Roskilde Fjord was 2,06 meter higher than normal.
Is the boat at the grass an effect of that storm? I don’t know, but why should it be there if not. The little photo is from nearly the same position long before the water peaked december 6th.
A long lasting storm has passed Denmark and the surrounding countries a few days ago. A lot of damage, including damage caused by storm surge at many places, are seen. Many high-water records are noticed. Roskilde Fjord peaked 2,06 meter over normal. My photos was taken at 10 AM friday, but later it was a lot worse.
The Viking Ship Museum to the left was under pressure from the water and precautions was taken. At the museum homepage there are several photos and a short video, see Viking Ship Museum. Later the museum was surrounded by water.
It would have been nice to be the owner of a boat the other day. The weather was lovely – sunshine and no wind.
Last weekend I passed Roskilde harbour when a group of modern vikings was told how to be sailing vikings. Here follows a few photos. I hope all enjoyed working together.
First to the right.
Then to the left – with better wind.
I saw this ship in Roskilde the other day – it is the only Danish steel schooner under sail. (Information at the second photo)
If you saw the shots of swans yesterday, you have seen a little part of Roskilde Fjord.
Today I will show you two more. Can you find the fisherman in the water at the first – if not, take a look at the second, and it should be possible to find him at the first.
