Just as we arrived at our agreed upon meeting time, it started to rain, but Captain Denis was agreeable to going out anyway, and since we had a tight schedule, we did not want to cancel. It was our good fortune that we went because it was a highlight of our Copenhagen trip. Tucked up in the bow of the boat, along with a couple of warm wraps, we were snug and content to see the sights from our dry, cushioned boat bench, while others on land were dealing with wet shoes and dripping umbrellas. Plus…”
