We got here finally at about 4 pm BST after fine sail in the brisk
southerly wind, tacking down the inner sound. Customs phoned up and we are
cleared in to the country - whereupon it started to rain for the first time for
ages - we must be back in Scotland! The mooring was waiting for us on our
arrival, with a new "private" sticker on it – we don’t quite know why and it’s a
bit poncy. We're attached to the mooring with two polyester ropes plus the
anchor chain as a back-up.
Below are our final pictures from the voyage.
Commonwealth war graves in Faeroe – 55 people, 12 Canadians, the rest
British
The local fauna – there are more of these than there are people
And these.
