Anybody sailing UK-NI this year?

[Kelpie]

Without getting in to an argument, can anybody share direct experience of cruising between UK and NI this summer?
My reading of the rules is that is should be treated similarly to travelling to e.g. the Hebrides. So you take lateral flow tests, you don't travel if you have symptoms, or if you've been in contact with anybody who tested positive within 14 (I think) days. Etc.
I'd hate to arrive there and find out that I've got this wrong, so it would be reassuring to hear from anybody who has recently done it.

Give either Bangor or Carrickfergus Marina a call - I'm sure they'll give you up-to-date info.

If you call either marina, can you please post with their advice?

I do. I sailed direct from oban to derry with no issues on arrival, spent a week there and then onward to Ballycastle and Carrickfergus. The plan is to complete a fortnight in NI and then down to the south as there are no restrictions on travel from NI to the Republic unless you have been abroad within 14 days. The NI experience has certainly been fine. Hopefully the Republic will be straightforward as well.
