Anybody out there in Orkneys ?

My club yacht, steel 45 ft yawl 'Syrenka' is in Orkneys before her return journey to the Baltic.
She got serious weather when coming back from Greenland to Iceland earlier this season.
Couple of times put on the side with spreaders in the seas, in 10°B
On top of that got trouble with engine, most probably due to algae growth in the diesel tank.
As the engine refused to run in the seas, I assume the batteries got flat and on-board electronics is failing to work.
I guess they moor in Stromness.
If any of you is to pass there, please greet the crew.
