Description
From Kirkwall on the mainland across to Rapness on the island of Westray. Some strong (4.5 knot) currents (according to Navionics) on the way. Liz very grateful that the strong winds from the north had abated for a while as the 4.5 knot current was flowing northerly. Still a little rolly for a little while. Hound was a wuss dog on the ferry as usual.
