At last, our sailing holiday has begun.
Arrived in one piece at Ballycastle today after rounding Fair Head ( nothing fair about it, really!)

Kintyre, as seen from Glenarm:

Nice one Chris and Dave, I bet there's a few of us here wishing we were out along side you
I spent most of my money on Booze, Women and Boats. The rest I wasted.

Rope Bridge

Hi Mick, yes we are very lucky not having many time constraints at present. We are at home for a short while whilst the boat is currently at Oban. I might make a blog post about the trip if we get weatherbound again. It just won't settle down this year.

Hi John,
From Ballycastle we sailed to Port Ellen for a couple of nights then on to craighouse on Jura but that was a very short stay because we were rolling that much in the middle of the night we got up early and motored up to Crinan to wait for a favorable tide for Oban. Then rubbish weather returned so went home for a few days.
