We said farewell to the Northern Isles of Shetland, Fair Isle and Orkney and sailed from Stromness to Kinlochbervie on the NW mainland. The day was a mixture of sunny spells and occasional light drizzle, but with a steady NNW Force 4-5 wind to keep us going on the 70 mile passage. Rounding Cape Wrath, the NW extremity of Scotland, gave us some heavy swells but the sea was much flatter for the final 20 miles. A very enjoyable 13 hour sail.
