And south we go...

Position: 55•26.39N 003•05'.05W, Wick, Highland.
Dylan brought us down to Wick yesterday, our first leg of the southward journey. Very light winds as we kept Whitehall, which died away completely by the time we'd got clear of the islands. Typical.
We timed the tides perfectly for leaving and heading south, but that meant we'd be passing close to the Pentland Firth as it was building up to it's strongest tidal flow (10-12kn) which could have sucked us in and cause some serious problems!
Dylans courses to street came good though, as we managed to stay out of danger.
Everyone was quite amazed at long the trip was, but its always the same when you have ro motor.
Iain's taking us down to Peterhead today, about 75M, with a W-NW wind forecast we should have a cracking sail.
