Setting sail from St. Bees Island our intention was to head for the Percy Islands but an uncertain weather forecast meant a change in plan. We anchored at Curlew Island part of the Guardfish Cluster group. Heavy fog saw us depart for the Duke Islands, anchoring at scenic Hunter Island. The following morning we set off again to round Cape Townshend, encountering whales along the way. Going through the night we got a bit of a fright, being buzzed by a helicopter, after straying into the Shoalwater Bay Military Zone before arriving at our destination, Great Keppel Island in the early hours.

Did you know that Stornoway is so much more than a town on the shipping forecast? We sail into the harbour from a delightful anchorage and set off to explore the town. We walk through the grounds of Lews Castle taking in the fabulous views then pop inside for lunch before exploring the building itself. We were delighted to find a museum on site containing 6 of the original late 12th century chessmen found on the Ilse of Lewis. These are known as the Lewis Chessmen. A single chess piece raised eye watering sums when it was last auctioned, tune in to find out how much. As ever we are really grateful for your continued subscriptions it means the world to us.

A semana também foi marcada por uma visita muito especial: a Renata, mãe do Adriano, chegou para passar uns dias com a gente. O Alexandre está amando a companhia da vovó! ❤️ Eles estão aproveitando bastante o Clube Cabana, aqui em Recife, que tem piscina, parquinhos e muito espaço para brincar.

Following on from my strobing LED lights fitted to the front of my bike I've added some red flashers to the rear. I have them connected with a 3 position switch so they're either off, on or on when I hit the breaks (my default setting)
