Clearing Cape Wrath

Stainless, still at the end of the boom.
Up there, squadrons of stars shift.
Maybe not endless but
a fearsome number
propelling into
the lit city of Durness
 

Ian's thoughts as we night sailed on watches...a long
cold moonlit Minch...round the Cape and the sea and
wind building up towards Orkney..
 

Leaving Stornoway 1pm Monday,
Ian lost the hat on the foredeck in big seas coming
towards Hoy,
still has the gansey though...
