23rd May

Last night was like being back in the washing machine. Imagine jiggled and surged and bounced attached to the buoy as we had another night of strong winds. We planned to stay another tonight but we decided we couldn't face it. In a force 7 wind we headed 8 miles across the bay to Stintino. It was a struggle to berth in a strong cross wind. Somehow we managed it without getting ropes round the propellers. The wind shows no sign of abating but at least we can walk ashore.
