2025 May 7th Day 39. Otterswick to Grutness Voe, Shetland.

 WIP Place holder whilst I catch up.

Text from Facebook posts until I have time to elaborate.

Shetland under the fair weather cumulus off the
port bow shortly after starting to sail.

"After 8 hours under engine I’m finally sailing 7nm NE of Fair Isle, I’ll probably have to pay for it later with more engine to keep clear of the Sunbough Rost and more adverse tide further N, but it will be worth it for the quite and lack of vibraton. Wind W 8 - 10 knots, main and chute."



Grutness anchorage and Sumbough Airport.
A celebratory drink for finally getting here after a serious
attempt last year and not being able to "nip over" in 2020 & 2021. 

 

61.4 NM in just under 13 hours.
