Saturday 18 October

It's been a wild night here, but nowhere near as wild as down in Bermuda. Maximum sustained windspeeds 93 mph after a pretty sharp windshift as the eye passed directly over the island. Gonzalo is now scooting away towards Newfoundland, 1100 miles to the northeast. We will see it in the UK by Tuesday. XCWeather gives Scotland winds between 48 mph (in Stornoway) and 66 mph in Campbeltown. The Met Office has advance Yellow Warnings out for southern Scotland for Tuesday.

Had an enjoyable evening in receipt of island hospitality. Weather pretty lively, with at least two heavy showers on the way back across the Barvas Moor.
