Kirkwall to Sinclair's Bay

 

I spend two nights in Kirkwall and got showered, clothes washed, groceries, fuel, and water. And slept some more.

Today (Tuesday) I sailed from Kirkwall to Sinclair's Bay. Homeward march.

The weather was good - a little rain early in the day, but bright otherwise. The wind was steady, mostly 12-16 knots from the NW.

Unfortunately, there is still some residual swell from the NE weather a few days ago (the wind that took me from Fair Isle to Kirkwall). Sinlcair's Bay is a bit rolly as a consequence. It should reduce overnight. It won't stop me from sleeping.

I may go to Portmahomack tomorrow, and visit Tain on Thursday. Then I'll head back to Lossiemouth on Friday.
