Yesterdays stormy conditions had built up quite a sea, and so the morning was spent sailing close hauled crashing through big waves that submerged the bow. Exhilarating! But tiring and very slow progress.
Sped up in afternoon as sea calmed down and with tide that swept me between coast and Copeland Island to enter Belfast Lough. And caught couple of mackerel for dinner.
Passing Donaghadee next to Copeland Island
RNLI boat sped past.
Racing to get into Bangor Marina before wall of drizzle caught up with me.
