Micha singlehands X-Trip from the North Sea to the Scottish Highlands, arriving at Peterhead after a four-day passage through 20–25-knot conditions with two reefs in the mainsail and oil platforms on the route.▶ 0:05 Peterhead Bay Marina carries only 1.70 m at low water; Micha departs at 0700, an hour and a half after the 0530 low, with 2.80 m under the keel on exit.▶ 5:01 Rounding Rattay Head, a counter-current drops boat speed from 6.5 to 3.4 knots over ground despite 5 knots through the water.▶ 6:55 He attempts a butterfly sail configuration with a whisker pole but abandons it after half an hour when the wind shifts.▶ 8:10 With 25-knot winds forecast overnight and a yellow weather warning issued for extreme rainfall, he faces a choice between anchoring at Burghead or pressing 70 miles to Inverness in the dark against an outgoing tidal stream.▶ 14:33 He anchors at Burghead in 6.2 m, pays out 30 m of chain, and rides out the overnight storm with the wind clocking to east and swell rolling into the bay.▶ 20:02 The following day he motors the final leg to Inverness in rain, anchoring behind the large bridge at the river entrance.▶ 24:16 Short scope in an open anchorage reduces boat swing in storm conditions when a lee shore is absent.
