Peterhead to Lossiemouth

We were stuck in Peterhead by forecasts of 5-7, sometimes gale force 8, and after the previous day's experience with the swell, we decided to stay in port.
Talking to the harbourmaster at Peterhead, he suggested leaving at HW to hit slack around Rattray head. HW was at 06:30, so this was an early start.
The weather was perfect, 12kn of wind on the port beam and we passed Rattray Head with no problems. I had been slightly cautious about this part of the journey, hearing about the outfalls and confused seas as the turn turns this corner.
Jennifer and I discussed stopping at Whitehills, but we seemed to be making such good progress under sail that we pushed forward to Lossie. I'd heard such good things about Whitehills too.
The last part of the journey was into the wind and heavy swell, so the engine was back on and it was a real grind. Lossiemouth was a very friendly port, we met Jackie again who was awaiting crew. It is next to a very active RAF lossiemouth, so is a must for plane spotters.
