Pentland Firth


Passing the Pentland Firth in quiet weather (3 bf NE). Sea is smooth,
but with eerie wirls / tidal rips that make it clear you should not be
here when tides run fast in bad weather. We are just after dead tide
and have 4 knots of current with us.
Now entering the North Atlantic Ocean; under spinaker!! To the nortgh
is Hoy, one of the Orkney's. To the SW is Dunnet Head. This is a dream
of a sail.
