Summer 2013 . 2. Fair Isle

It was lovely to be in this magical landscape again. This time I was lucky to see more birds , including lots of Puffins so close.

Summer 2011 2. To Fair Isle from Orkney

Week 2: 

Sailing from Westray to Fair Isle was a bit uncomfortable for me with southeasterly wind and swell. However, I managed to steer the boat between the cliffs and break water at the narrow entrance to North Haven, then berth her at the pier safely. So, arriving there and walking around the island in fog and bright sunshine within a couple of days was a great experience.
