Left Peterhead at lunchtime and motor sailed against an adverse tide and wind up to Rattray Head. From then onwards we could ease the sheets and eat the miles up along the Moray Firth south cost. We had a great 4 hrs of sailing at 7 to 8 knots with a good force 4 on the beam. We were accompanied by a Dutch yacht of the same size as Spring Breeze who were also moored in Peterhead the night before.
We made Buckie for the night. A quite fishing harbour well past it's heyday with 4 massive docks designed to accommodate trawlers. So we needed our scaffold plank against the concreat dock walls and very long mooring wharps. At least it was a cheap mooring!
Spring Breeze dwarfed by the dock.
