Carlingford Lough > Ardglass / by Tim Wilson

Took last of ebb tide out of Lough and, with wind behind as well, was fast and smooth wooshing out of the entrance at up to 7 knots! Like being on a conveyor belt.

Then sailed past Mourne Mountains for rest of morning, and in afternoon motored across Dundrum Bay to Arkglass when wind died and drizzle set in. Rain at last!

The marina in Ardglass is in a natural pool protected by rocks that used to be known as ‘God’s Pocket’ - and it is a lovely peaceful spot.
