    Well it has to be done.
    I am at present just leaving Aberdeen harbour on a hour trip to Lerwick.
    Captain has just announced that a pleasant journey ahead with no more than a two metre swell all the way.
    That is a relief.
    I have a cabin and my pint of Tennent’s £.[emoji6] so not all bad.
    Roll on seven am tomorrow morning.

    Rather you than me mate. Fourteen hours on the water in that part of the world. I might be tempted to get in one of those small aircraft, which I hate, and get it over with.

    Safe travels, some crossing that to end up still technically in Scotland.

    Captain has assured us that a pleasant journey ahead with only two metre swell all the way.
    I’m relieved as my cabin is at the front of the boat

    Never know they might be playing violins on the top deck whilst lowering the lifeboats.
