So our adventure has begun, with the slight cock up of me leaving my phone on the kitchen table. Technically I could have got home and back to the ferry, but if there had been any delays then I would have missed the boat. Luckily my son has his, and after I added some credit then we are back in communication.

Anyway we did get a nice sunset as we passed between the Shetland mainland and Fair Isle…

Unfortunately James is feeling a bit under the weather, which is a pity as he used to have amazing sea legs.

Internet is a bit naff on the ferry so only one photograph…
