Woke up for 2nd morning in Wick with blanket of fog in the harbour. Decided to sail into foul tide for a couple of hours to make use of the strong winds, despite the driving rain. Heading for somewhere near Inverness to meet up with my daughter, Clare on 9th. Got into very small harbour, Helmsdale, for the night.
