The Irish Sea

It seems that this blog is a bit patchy, so in an attempt to fill in some gaps, here I am going down the Ribble, notice jaunty hat!

We had a very calm crossing to Isle of Man, picking up a mooring in a lovely bay on the east coast near Laxey

Had a quick run ashore

Lynne found a swing! 24 hours without sleep will do that.......

 Anyway lovely spot however the forecast south westerly wind became distinctly southerly making the anchorage subject to reflected swell around the headland, this meant swell on the beam ( cos the boat points head to wind) and ROLLING.......

So we moved a few miles up the coast to Ramsey.
