Wed 12 Aug Stonehaven to Dundee

Nice start, even though the wind was coming from where we wanted to go, again. So we did so for a couple of hours and then we motored the rest of it but we did get about half an hour of nice Sailing on the way into the River Tay before coming alongside in Tayport Marina.

The tidal streams in the Tay are quite brutal, so if you ever decided to sail in there, pay particular attention or you will either go backwards or just stand still.
Fortunately for us the numbers worked and we whizzed up to Tayport marina on the south side of the Tay and secured in time to get a meal and a few beers ashore.
There is a really superb Indian restaurant on the upper floor of the Bell Rock Inn in Tayport. Very friendly and absolutely exquisite food

A very lovely Marina run by the locals. No electricity for the pontoons the sound, there is freshwater and shower & toilets.Read more
