Dusk At The Queen's Channel

The photograph is of the Q2 buoy at the entrance to The Queen's Channel as I passed by at sunset. Alas, the tide was about to turn and so a passage into Liverpool immediately was out of the question. For a favourable tide I had to wait six hours. To kill time I headed north, then back south, still under sail. It was a calm night but with several vessels very much larger than Tramontana moving around. A keen lookout was kept.
