Tugs in Lerwick

As the Open 40s set to restart with gale force winds forecast, just
getting away from the harbour proved to be a challenge in itself. The
pilot tug was called in to pull the yachts away that had been pinned
by the already strong winds.

Fortunately for us, Jangada is tucked into a reasonably sheltered
corner, whilst tonight Trevor & I will be tucked away in a very
comfortable room at the Queens Hotel.

We are hopefull that the worst of winds will have subsided by the time
we restart on Sunday morning. But with large swells, we could be in
for a fast rollercoaster ride towards Lowestoft.
