Slipped the berth in a bright yellow sunrise, through the chicane of the harbour entrance, and headed east with a ghost of tide following (no wind of course). The tide continued to pick up nicely for us, and we turned southeast round Rattray Head at 1140, another of the great headlands of the UK coastline, keeping a respectful 2 miles off to minimize the usual overfalls.  We averaged a touch over 6k and were in Peterhead at 1430, passing through the massive commercial harbour with tankers and oil rig vessels, onto a  quiet berth just inside the entrance to the very large marina.
