Back in good old Lerwick again. We feel really at home here now. The narrow streets, the boating club, the comradeship among the fellow yachtsmen waiting for fair winds to take us wherever we are heading. We took the opportunity to stock up on supplies from Tesco on the other side of town. We managed to get a lift to the store but had to walk back. The two foldable trolleys we have comes in real handy in such situations. Carrying a week of food and drink supplies for several miles is tough work but stuffed in the trolleys it's nothing but a pleasant walk.
We spent another 5 days in Lerwick waiting for the winds to settle so that we could make a new attempt to head home. We were not alone. The marina was full with boats doing the same thing. It had been a strange summer so far with winds mostly from the east something. Everybody was waiting for a good old westerly.
Socializing with our dutch neighbors. They were sailing their 30 something footer for a 9 week cruise that had taken them from Holland through the Kiele canal to Denmark, Norway and Shetland. They were now heading south back to Holland.
