Sailing mate Des joined us when leaving Ireland on the 3rd of May. Initially bound for the Isle of Man 🇮🇲, we altered the course early as the short breaking 3m waves on the nose did not correspond to the 20kn of wind at all and kept flooding the deck. Direction and height wise these waves were pure pain not bearing any logic. A bit of a rough start to test our sea legs keeping the bucket at arm’s length.

After a couple of more hours on the altered tack we got some comfort back just in time for getting into a wonderful night.

Shortly after crossing Belfast Lough we arrived tired but happy in lovely Glenarm Marina / Northern Ireland – UK.

Fair winds…
