Shetland arrival

Don't worry - we're safe (even when we don't have internet connection)!

Yesterday we arrived at Lerwick after about 30 hours of sailing and rolling around.
We had perfect winds over the first half, but the last night was quite a mess! The north sea, near gale, hungry and tired, the flag suddenly ripped off and I had to block Gar with my feet on every roll, not to get squeezed. (Yes, my dad managed the boat on his own, lucky for us!)

Now we've had our precious showers and we're ready for some sight-seeing. Heading towards Fair Isle and the rest of Scotland around Tuesday, we'll come back with updates!


Not exactly full sails, in the end..

The largest city on Shetland; Lerwick! (Just kidding, of course.)
