Needed to get off our drying berth near to high tide and had twenty-two mile voyage planned so needed a reasonably early start. Probably set off sailing at about 10am and had a very calm start, all sails up and wind behind. Had a great view of the Forth bridges sternward.
About three quarters completed there were dark raining clouds coming towards us across the Firth. I got rid of the main and completed the rest of the journey under jib alone in strong wind with waves. I've now been out in worse weather so wasn't overly concerned. Kouran did a good job as crew, moving to balance the boat unbidden and learning the ropes.
Having just tied up, a chap came in on his small fishing boat and said hello, we'd been moored alongside him in Dunbar. He asked if we'd like two Lobsters! Thanks Peter. It was great to be able to sample fresh unmessed-about-with lobster, yum-yum
Just fits in my pan
