In the event, the armada was whittled down to just two boats.
Sailing up the Ulster coast
Rounding the Mull of Kintyre
Sadly, no time for raids on the distilleries (we sailed past at least five of them).
The chart table was supposed to be out of bounds for drinkers, but . . .
Corryvrechan from the safety of a Mitchell 31
Lots of wildlife - fallow and red deer in this pic (red deer circled)
. . . and of course dolphins (guiding us to Mull)
Educational anchorage - Tinker's hole
- only we got the mooring sequence wrong and scraped some antifouling off the keel
Whistle stop at Fingal's cave . . .
. . . just got there before the tourists
More wildlife off Islay
Discovered how Ballymory got its name - a synthesis of (1)Tobermory
. . . and (2) Ballycastle
Sad return via Fair Head
and Ardglass
with a diversion to check out what seemed from a distance to be a liferaft
Anyone want to join me on Freestyle for a cruise in company to the East coast of Ireland 30 June to 7 July? SWMBO won't let me go alone. PM me if interested.
