More Boats

A day when we just thought we’d do a bit of a nose into the museum and art centre. And it was a scorcher. Honestly. I took off my socks! I sat in a t-shirt outside!
The museum was excellent - just about sufficient boat stuff and their Cullen skink was outta this world. However the film at Mareel about Shetland life… best avoided. As we’d have known if we’d spoken to Leasko beforehand. As it was, who did we bump into next but the very woman herself, out with Lucy who bounded about and her mum who stayed in the car.
So off to the 5:30 ferry in the glorious sunshine with all the other youthful pensioner types from across Europe and North America. And a couple of hours later, just as the sun began setting, we sailed close down the west coast of the Fair Isle. Wowza indeed.
So, into Kirkwall and our first ever airbnb. True, dat.
