More buoy

19Jun13

Pierowall is a friendly place with the locals going out of their way to help the visitor to their shores. The following morning we pulled into the marina, once Moby Dick had made his exit, then wandered around the shoreline making the most of the local amenities around the bay including an excellent supply of fresh fish; the monkfish was particularly tasty with a glass of wine and the setting sun over a beautiful bay once safely back on our mooring buoy.

We prefer Orkney to Shetland, they both have their merits but Orkney appeals to the romantic. When the sun shines it exudes a sense of belonging, pushes the rest of the world out and simply says, this is what it should all be like.
