Round Britain for the RNLI Blog

Paul has arrived in Peterhead and will tell us more about the trip later.

There was an interview with me on Waves Radio this evening, broadcast in the Peterhead area.

Paul has found conditions to be suitable to allow him to continue to Peterhead today, rounding Ratray Head a short while ago and due into Peterhead within the hour.

At 1115 today, Paul reached the most Northerly point of the entire journey. Earlier in this current leg, he passed the half way point of the entire trip. So less far to go now than he has already done, and it’s all downhill

I’ve not been at my best since Physio on Friday - no pain no gain eh. So I have been having a quiet but enjoyable time watching England give South Africa a good pasting at Cricket. I just hope we can get them all out again otherwise it might end up as a draw and that would be a travesty.

The weather here this morning is excellent with almost calm conditions and high cloud… altogether more quiet than of late. I am hoping that the sea has calmed enough for me to get to Peterhead today. I won’t know until I am out there but if it is OK then I will push on past Whitehills. If not then I will revert back to the original plan of stopping at Whitehills.

It is neaps and with calm weather I would like to take the opportunity to get past Rattray Head today. We will see.

Next report when back in port.
