Hi Lisa, We (Alchemy) were in and out of Lerwick and the SIs over a number of years (~~2014) and even over wintered our boat there one winter. We never heard a word of what you report. Not only was Lerwick wonderful but also the archipelago for land or water cruising. As Americans, the UK allowed us 6 months as opposed to Europe and Norway where we had to be out in 3. From Lerwick it was an easy overnight to the Norway coast and then back at the end of 3 months. A historical book of great interest to the area is “The Shetland Bus” about WWII and the boat traffic from the SIs to Norway. I have notes on Lerwick and the SIs and Norway if interested. Contact me off-line at alchemy128(at)gmail.com. My best, Envious of your being in those waters, Dick Stevenson, s/v Alchemy
