Sailed south inside of an Island off Belfast sourthern shore and quietly made our way south in a light breeze doing about 5 knots but with a knot of tide with us. We were slightly annoyed with other yachts motoring past when they clearly had wind to sail and we were half expecting them to pinch the best moorings at Ardglass. Fortunately that wasn't the case and we motored into a suitable slot.
The AIS was picked up this trip.
The narrow channel at Ardglass viewed from our marina berth.
We had a go at sailing further south the following morning but were met by seriously lumpy seas and too much wind on our nose. So retraced our track and snuggled back into out marine berth. I went up the mast to sort out a lazy jack block that was rotating and winding up the lines.
