Another lovely day with little wind and a lot of engine! We are missing sailing – bring on the wind!
About an hour into the passage a swarm of flies landed on the boat. It was horrific. The pictures do not show the flies at their worst. I tried brushing them off with a broom whilst Tony threw buckets of water over the entire boat to wash them away. Even an hour later they were still swarming on the wind generator like bees in a hive. It was so nasty, I hope we never encounter anything like that again.
A puffin at very close quarters and a couple of porpoises helped us to feel a little better.
We arrived in Dale at dusk. The fly experience had zapped us completely and we did not consider the wind or tide direction when we moored up to the free visitor's pontoon. The consequence was that we were kept awake all night by the slapping of water on the aft cabin! What a day!
