2025 May 6th Day 38. Shapensay to Otterswick, Sanday

 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."


30 NM in six and a quarter hours.
