14th July 2011

We set off about 09.30 for Scalpay, a little village on Harris near Tarbert.  The engine had to be started and we motorsailed after a lack of wind.  Nick lost the best fishing line overboard, so Russ, who at the time was fixing the oven door, set to work with Karen to make a new line out of bits that we had found.

The shelter of the little harbour at Scalpay was welcome, and we set about cleaning the outside of Tenacity before going for a little walk, taking in the sights like the pier made out of a sunken concrete barge and the Scalpay bridge over to mainland Harris.

On our return to Tenacity we found that she was being admired by local mariners and they enjoyed a quick tour of her.  Sausage Korma was on the menu for tea as we had run out of chicken!  The crew also got a chance of a shower after dinner before bed.
