Lybster by Bus

We had wanted to sail to Lybster, but the weather conditions made us decide to visit the harbour using the bus from Wick. When we got there we knew we had made the correct decision, as the swell approaching the narrow entrance to the harbour (2m) and the wind blowing into it (f6-7) made it a difficult place to approach safely.

The shelter inside was good, but we would have been lying against steel pilings, or rafted on a fishing boat, with a walk up the hill to a shop
