Leaving Peterhead
Looking out to sea, more rain!
But no wind

Approaching Whitehills
Today was very odd as I steered due west in the the Moray Firth. I didn't fancy the 75 mile motor to Wick so instead opted to go to Whitehills just 38 miles. Butt his means it's only 48 miles to Wick. On the way the sun actually came out s d I saw a dolphin. I have to say I'm very glad I decided to come to this little port as it is delightful and the harbour master Bertie has been really helpful and all for £20.

My stay has been longer than expected with the weather changing for the worse. Since Tuesday its been force 5, 6 and 7. Its given me plenty of opportunity to explore the area and the two public houses in the village. Its also allowed me to replace the AIS antenna. Bertie very kindly drove me to McDuff to the chandlers and would not accept any payment for petrol or his time. Now that is service!
