| Wick last night - a very "rosy tinted' perspective! |
All we had to do was leave Wick and head south. Wick was fairly bright as we left and of course there was no wind but there was a fairly strong adverse tide, so we turned on the radio and were resigned to a about 7 hours of motoring. Crossing the Moray Firth we passed along the western edge of a large restricted area for the developement of wind farms. Only two wind turbines were evident but the working platform loomed out of a the mist and murk like machines from H G Wells "War of the Worlds". We were accompanied for a significant part of the journey by a Fulmar and were briefly harried by a Skua defending her young from a Black Back Gull.

Lossiemouth is a world apart from Wick, but does have a tortuous entrance that would be a serious challenge in a northerly wind. Not only does it have a very narrow entrance but it is only accessible for boats like mine around 2 hours either side of high water.
