Motored out of the river past huge container ships unloading, and then a gentle sail across the bay and out to the island a couple miles off the coast. This location means can hopefully make Carlingford Lough tomorrow in a straight line directly north up the coast.
I trailed the mackerel line hoping to catch lunch, and after one fish caught and then escaped I sailed about for longer next to the island before anchoring, but alas all I caught was seaweed.
