Our arrival in Orkney couldn´t have been better timed. We pass through the usually fast-flowing Hoy Sound, between the island of Hoy to the south and Orkney Mainland to the north, exactly at slack water – perfect timing!

A little later, we drop anchor off the charming town of Stromness. The busy harbour is alive with activity, welcoming large car ferries, fishing boats of every size and the local marina.

For now, though, it´s time to head to our bunks and catch up on some much-needed sleep before setting off to explore Orkney.
