Decisions

Had a word with Finn today and we are staying until Wednesday, it's a bit of a gamble with the weather. I am guessing that the pattern of cyclonic weather and myriad little fronts will calm down after Monday. I just hope that the light southerlys won't be too light, I am hoping to have a play with the Gennaker. 7-10 knots would be perfect as long as it's aft the beam. The plan is to head west and explore, the Bann and Mulroy Bay, hopefully we could also call at Inishtrahull which has to have one of the most perfect anchorages on a deserted island you could ever want or need. Yesterday was officially the last day of summer ( in meteological terms ) although certainly in the morning you wouldn't have believed it, Lynne and I were breakfasting and reading the papers in the cockpit in glorious sunshine, however by the afternoon the drizzle and then rain had returned as another frontal system passed through. We are very lucky to not be in any kind of rush or hurry, we are getting used to staying and exploring if we find a place interesting.

This shows the coast looking towards Portrush, Lynne is stood on top of the cliff and Malin Head is in the far distance.
