Lighthouses and high cliff views. Thank you, Shetland Islands, for a glimpse at your land!
Summary from the Ship's Official Log Book
With the pilot boarded at 06:20 from the ladder on our starboard side the Ruby Princess sailed inside the bay and approached our anchorage position. The order to "Let Go" the starboard anchor was given at 06:57 and shortly after at 07"39 the Ruby Princess was resting safely at anchor and the first passenger tender proceeded ashore.
Later that afternoon with all our passengers and crew safely back onboard we heaved home that anchor at 17:04 and made our way out of port, disembarking the pilot at 17:20 we then set courses for Iceland.
