Visited the boat museum and the Unst Heritage centre. We had earlier met a man trying out a small home built dinghy. We chatted and he encouraged us to visit the Boat Museum, saying that he had donated a boat to it. It later transpired that he was the founder of the museum, had donated several boats and had made various replica boats.
The Unst heritage centre had a really good geological display. The island is particularly interesting and contains a geopark. We picked up an excellent leaflet but have not yet had the weather to follow the trails.
Returned in rain and spent ages drying the bikes and everything else. It would be nice on such occasions to have a proper heater in the boat – our one uses expensive and hard-to-get Camping Gas
