Plans again

Yet another ponder on the weather charts. Do we go back east ? What's happening next week? The summers ending........what to do? It looks like the weather is settling for a while but the winds are southerly and light next week. A plan begins to form, go west and try the entrance to the Bann river go up to Colraine, stock up on essential supplies then round Malin head and seek the entrance to Mulroy Bay beyond Fanad head. There are three narrows before emerging into broad Water, a totally sheltered 10 mile inland sea. The more I look at the pilot and the few charts I have the more intrigued I become.
The charts were last done in 2006 before that it was 1860 something..... So it looks like we may be if not completely alone then certainly less crowded. Most yachts hurrying to sail from Bloody Foreland and round Malin head, locals only at a guess would be bothered to negotiate the intricate narrows. We however have time on our side. So that's a plan then!
