On MacCormick Islands

A 7.20 start put us in a good position to cross to these lovely islands at slack, just before the flood. Even so, the F4-5 gusting 6 gave a lively race off the middle oisland. We're now waiting to leave.

With a southery wind and flood tide we'd normally just jump on, but there's a lot of white stuff out there that's not seagulls.

We'll leave at the end of the fifth hour of flood, cross to the mainland and camp.
