12/32 Eyemouth to Lossiemouth - the long haul over the sea to Scotland!

John and Fionn leave the trawlers behind mindful that poor weather is forecast as they head towards the most difficult leg of their journey... passing a very remote lighthouse - 11 miles from land, as they make for Aberdeen and see porpoises at the harbour entrance. Shark Bay doesn't enter harbour which is restricted to commercial operations but continues on into the Moray Firth with a great view of the 'prettiest village from the sea'...Gardenstown...and on to Lossiemouth after a long 10 hour stretch.

We are about to leave Eyemouth - we have crossed into Scotland now, definitely in Scotland. We have just had a chat with the harbour master, and the forecast is looking great for today but not very good for tomorrow. We’ve got winds gusting at force 6, maybe even force 7 from the North East, so we have made a change of plan. So what we are going to do is to head up to Peterhead, which is probably about 5 hours away, fuel up there then try and head West and hopefully get to Inverness today, otherwise we are going to get trapped in somewhere which could be for a few days. That’s the plan, cup of tea then we are on our way! Cheerio! All clear, thanks mate! Bellrock Lighthouse celebrated its bicentenary in 2011. Since the last keeper left in 1988, when the light became fully automated, the only inhabitants at this remote rock, over 11 miles out at sea, have been the seals. Aberdeen Harbour, Shark Bay over, Yes, for your information, this is a VTS area, you have entered without permission. My apologies, I thought I had to get permission if I actually came inside the harbour, over. No you ask permission when you enter the 1 mile zone area. Brilliant, just off the mouth of Aberdeen Harbour, we saw splashes and there are some big dolphins feeding everywhere. They came around the boat, under the bow. You could see them swimming under the water a few metres down. We got told off a little bit by Aberdeen Harbour for not asking permission to come within the mile zone and he told us not to come in the harbour, they are a bit busy in there. We don’t need to; we’ve got the dolphins out here haven’t we! It’s a hectically busy port here at Aberdeen, there’s a whole fleet of oil-rig supply vessels just hanging off here. There must be about a dozen of them all hanging off port waiting to get in. Petershead Harbour, Shark Bay over. He is in at the moment, so if you go right the way over to the fuel birth he’ll be there to take you in. All right, Thanks for that. Nice little message for you there! Haste ye back! Yeah, nice message. Everybody’s so friendly though wherever we go, aren’t they? All the marina staff, harbour masters - it’s been amazing really. Really good. The thing that has blown me away on this trip so far has been the wildlife around the coast. From the pod of Porpoises on the very first night, we have had schools of Dolphins, we have had big flocks of seabird, lots of varieties of seabird. Just like here, just off the cliffs on the Moray Firth another huge colony of seabirds all reeling, crying - the stench of them is really powerful. But it’s just really great to see this around the coast. I was beginning to think that we had lost wildlife in Britain, but far from it, we have just got some amazing, amazing concentrations of wildlife around the coast. I think that if I had to choose the prettiest village from the sea that we saw on our trip then this one would get my vote. Gardens Town in Aberdeenshire. Where are we at? Lossiemouth Harbour - the end of a long day, we have been at Sea for about 10 hours I reckon. We have covered a lot of ground but it’s good to be coming in now to anchor up for the night.
