Summer 2011 1. Starting from Stromness, Orkney

Sailing from Orkney to Norway and Denmark, this is the plan ....

And we have to be in Ærøskøbing before August 1st !

First week :  8^th-15^th June 2011 
We left our marina berth in Stromness  at  9am. on June 8^th  and arrived at Kirkwall marina after 40 miles of pleasant sailing along the west coast of Orkney mainland with short tacking in Eynehallow Sound and down to Kirkwall.

Stromness to Kirkwall sailing route ( also some previous day sails within Scapa Flow before leaving )

Two old Scandinavian fishing boats at Kirkwall marina

Next evening ( 9^th June ) , after some shopping in Kirkwall, we were at sea again heading north to Westray , and arrived to Pierowall pier by midnight. The sky did not get dark with long days in north and sun setting over Papa Westray around 11 pm and later the full moon rising was very nice.
