Slipped at 1340 with very precise times worked out for various waypoints to cope with the notorious Pentland Firth tides. The new flood E-going stream between the islands of Swona and Stroma was due to start at HWDover -0500 which was 1545.

All went to plan and we reached 11.5 knots through the islands which is quick for Seahorse 😊😊😊
We passed Duncansby Head, the furthest
north-easterly point of mainland Great Britain
