Stromness marina


Stromness is a lovely town in Orkney mainland with a quiet, peaceful harbour, where sometimes  seals also like to visit, as well as birds and some cruisers :-)
It is nice to see wild life around the boats, despite being in a marina.

Here are some views of the town from marina:

 A local Yole, getting ready to sail
  
And a visitor’s yacht with junk rig sailing out






A view from Escapade while working on the slip, when the tide is out

Work is finished at the slip, waiting for high water to sail back to our berth and relaxing with a cup of tea ...
