Something about the Stromness Marina


We like Stromness Marina.

We came into Stromness Harbour via Hoy Sound.  
In Hoy Sound it is a good idea to have the tide behind you and not too much wind over tide. 
We had 5 knots of tide and came in nice and fast.
The marina is at the top of the harbour, just past the ferry terminal with ample depth.

The marina was nearly empty when we arrived and we were the “first visitors of the year” on 2nd April.
The marina is well sheltered, easy to get into and secure. 
Like all of Orkney, it is very friendly. 
It is run in winter by volunteers. 
There is diesel and water by hose, electricity (by wire .. which is reassuring), plus showers and washing machines etc. at the ferry terminal next door.
