 Horn, who had a headwind, decided to avoid battle, but when the wind turned he started the battle on the morning of 26 July.A few more losses did not affect either fleet, when a sudden wind made it impossible for the Swedish navy to continue its pursuit of the Danish fleet, which was anchored to the Gotland coast to bury the Danish vice-admiral Christopher Morgisen on hallowed ground after his death from a cannonball.Shortly after that a sudden storm broke out.
