Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse
The first line drawn on the chart sets our course, much like the initial score on a carpenter’s wood or the first stroke of an artist’s brush dictates the finished work.
We need to decide where that fundamental line is drawn, and its heading will be primarily determined by the wind’s strength and direction.
This initial decision is then fine-tuned by broader considerations. These might include a desire to explore new places, find the cheapest fuel, or revisit past places of interest.
With these factors in mind, the journey begins!
Darthaven Marina
Our arrival was late in the evening and the marina was still and shrouded in a warm mist. The airs were still – no wind.
Local lads were pushing trolley after trolley through the marina into a waiting truck. Sacks of freshly caught scallops, individually picked off the seabed by divers.
We unpacked our sailing gear and provisions before finalising the passage plan for tomorrow. And lastly, under new Post-Brexit regulations, notified the UK Border Force of our plan.
Darkness falls, and the only sound is the mooring warps creaking as they strain against the flood tide.
Zzzz
