Good Morning Lerwick!

Crawled out of sleeping bag at 5.30am. Gannets and Fulmars gliding past the window. Another wash, packed stuff up and made my way to canteen to have vegetarian breakfast to line my stomach for the Good Shepherd! Had 2 eggs, toast, tomatoes, potato pancakes, baked beans and coffee.

Black guillemots sitting on sea below me, approaching Lerwick Harbour along with Arctic Terns.

It's spitting with rain and cloudy skies - but I have never seen it any differently at Lerwick harbour!

Now going off ferry to get a taxi to the Viking bus station to catch 9.15am bus to Grutness Pier to catch the Good Shepherd! Wish me luck!
