Monday 22nd April 2019

The reason for leaving in April is to catch the weather in Scotland. That's the typical, statistical weather, and if the statisticians have worked hard, that's how it might be.
Anyway. Today is fine and sunny with a light easterly wind. XCW weather says it's like this, although it is nicer to have forecast with little fletched arrows.
So inshore we have good winds and if it holds for a few days because of the high pressure over France, we will be in Edinburgh by next weekend.
