The 55 mile trip from Scrabster to Loch Eribol was characterised by the wild cliffs and open waters here at the top of the country. Although the winds were light, the rolling atlantic swell was ever present, speaking of thousands of miles of open ocean and a breeze blowing from the shores of Canada and the US. The swell breaks heavilyon the shore even in good weather; this place is wild and dangerous when a proper storm blows in.
