Scotland

We are in Scotland!

 Hello!

Arrived as planned to Fraserburgh after 3 days and nights on the North sea. Left Kristiansand, Norway on Friday and the weather was fine.. Around 12 kn from east, Saturday was a bit rougher with some 25 kn blowing for almost 20 hours so waves built up and steering took alot of concentration. Going two persons without an autopilot is hard. In rough weather its harder. I didnt sleep much for the 3 days, maybe around 6 hours alltogether. After the wind droped a bit we entered the oil rigg area and saw lots of theese huge steel monsters. Sunday was calm with too little wind at some times, the sea lay flat, the sun dried or clothes and dolphins kept us company for hours.

Sea and sky and marina and dolphins and sun and clouds and and and

After three days we saw land again, we smelled of salt, sweat and lack of sleep, the hard days at sea had gotten my beard to grow explosivly.

We arrived in Fraserburgh a busy fishing harbour which smelled of oil and dead birds, after taking a shower sleeping for many hours and discovering the crazy tides of scotland we moved on to a cosier marina, whitehills. We're a bit stuck here for some days now, Winds blowing west, and blowing hard.

OMG the fishing boats looks so small, like matchboxes next to S/Y Tintomara. Fraserburgh

I'll leave you with this video from Whitehills marina, filmed just few hours ago, nice not to be out in this weather :D
