WIP Place holder whilst I catch up
Text from Facebook posts until I have time to elaborate.
"Apart from the fact it was cold there was nothing about the wind to complain about today, although when it twice blew over c 16 knots it was at times I could have done without it - once against a 4 knot tide in the Firth of Westray and once on a dead run in shallow water approaching the entrance to Otterswick, Sanday just a few miles from the north of Orkney.30 miles over the ground in six and a quarter hours sailing from offing to offing. I did cut a few corners in the benign conditions mainly 10 - 14 knots, W or WNW, over a neap tide.Shetland tomorrow and probably a good bit of motoring."
