Friday 7 June 2013 – Longhope to Hoy (Moaness Pier)

Biked to Harkness Battery and Martello Tower.

After returning we sailed up to Moaness Pier further up the E side of Hoy.  This was supposed to be an easy trip in fading breeze.  However the wind got up so we had to reef, it became very cold and a bit misty.  We eventually decided the S side of the pier was a safe stopping place.
