Two sailors scorned while turning northward in the Sound of Yell:
“Forecast of stormforce? Oh, what the hell!
For us a violent gust
is a manly must!”
And they survived as you can tell.

We have received a lashing in the Sound of Yell which is notorious for its tidal eddies and rips. Nothing serious happened. We waited on the anchor at Burra Voe until the wind has turned for a quick ride to Faroe Islands.
