We're off!

A good night's sleep on the boat in Stromness harbour, then off at 06.30 headed for Scrabster. Spending the night on the boat saves us getting up at 5am. to catch the boat in the normal way!

Lots of gannets to see as we pass across the Pentland Firth.

Squally weather as we pass through Hoy Sound and say farewell to Orkney ...

... weather improving ...

... brightening up an hour and a half later as we approach Holburn Head on the Scottish mainland.
