After two nights in Bangor, took advantage of favourable tide conditions but headwinds all the way, 20-25 knots of wind and big seas. Fortunately the rain held off for a couple of hours as we surfed into Ardglass, a wonderfully friendly tiny marina but tight negotiating at the entrance.
Beautiful sailing conditions yesterday to Howth (near Dublin)....westerly breeze 10-15 knots with boat speeds up to 8.5 knots. Force 8 gale was forecast for the Irish Sea and we were glad to be in Howth Marina and Yacht Club for 48 hours until it blows through.
Will set off at first light tomorrow morning to continue our journey south to Cork (eta 28/09).
We have one cabin available for the Atlantic Crossing (double berth), leaving Canary Islands around 25th November. Let me know if anyone would like to join us.
