At first the wind seems to be right, just after turning to the North Channel we get it directly from the front.
Who ever sailed a ship will know the feeling, when a sailing ship has to go powered by its engines, feels like a seagull with a broken wing, but crossing the north sea still promised good winds, so our moods did not suffer. We even enjoyed having time to watch Bass-Island, with its birds.
Thus we reached Edinburgh, the sunny weather cheering us up, in spite of the still missing winds...
When visiting friends you first dress up nicely, so does a sailing ship,when visiting a harbour: all sails have to be neatly packed, the the ropes cleared, the deck washed, the signs of rust be removed. After this is done we enter the harbour and are guided to pier deep within the commercial part, where, it being weekend, not even workers noticed our ship.
Whenever a windjammer is at the pier, there's someone who thinks about what could be worked on the ship, so most of the day was spent working on the ship. The evening we had a short look into the city, then the time to leave approached.
