Taking advantage of a slight weather improvement we left Skeld marina and headed north. Although sea conditions weren't ideal we could comfortably cruise at around 20knots as we went up towards the further most point of the UK. As we came close to Muckle flugga and out stack the tidel conditions meant we were getting thrown around and the reality of approaching some of the most dangerous seas in Britain with a small boat lead us to head in to land. Finding the closest marina on our chartplotter we arrived in cullivoe marina in north yell. A quiet small marina where we were arguably the largest boat in it. It wasn't long before a local had seen us there and came to investigate who's boat it was. We had familiar feelings to being home on papay where everyone knew everyone and anything out of the usual was quickly noticed. We made the most of the quietness to rest up for our next attempted departure.
