Arbroath to Peterhead
Jennifer and I left Hinxton at around 17:00 on Monday and headed up the A1 to Arbroath by van ( ridiculously cheaper than a train for 2 ) arriving around 03:00 Tuesday morning. A very good drive listening to an unabridged Terry Pratchett talking book.
Away from Arbroath at 08:00 past a large group of dolphins playing off of the harbour. Th plan was to set sail for Peterhead, but with a plan B of stopping at Stonehaven. Heading up the coast we needed 1 reef in the sails, but the wind was beautifully on the beam most of the way, and the sea state was slight with some slow swell from the stern. The sailing conditions on passing Stonehaven ware good, so we proceeded on towards Peterhead. We then had more swell from the NW adding to the swell from the S creating a very confused sea and it became rather unpleasant as we pitched and rolled our way to a very welcome haven of Peterhead Port. 65nm later.
