Granton to Eyemouth

I was a bit apprehensive about leaving the security of Granton.

The Met Office issued a strong wind warning, but the wind was blowing in the right direction, and we would have a favourable tide, so we left. 

We did experience some short showers, and at times in the gusts I considered a second reef, but we did make some good progress and have an exciting days sail. 

We covered the 42 nautical miles to Eyemouth, passing on the inside of Bass Rock, in just over seven hours so we averaged a little less than six knots, which is pretty good for a twenty six foot sailing cruiser. 

We finished the day with a Chinese Take away on board.
