Thursday 24 June Kinlovhbervie to Stromness Orkney.

The trip to the Orkneys need very careful planning for both tide and weather. The tides were correct but the wind was forecast to build , but we knew that if it was to rough we could stop in Loch Eriboll.
We left in 25 kns of wind which gave us a good trip round Cape Wrath but it was bitterly cold. So now another righthand corner completed. Later the cloud lifted from the sea but stayed over the land giving us a few hours of great downwind sailing.
We arrived at 17:30 after 75 miles sailing, we are now closer to Norway than home.
