Atlantic


Finally got the bag back and headed off. We were aiming for Loch Swilly but the forecast started talking about gales so we diverted to Portrush. And ended up motoring for much of the way in a flat calm. This is a parting shot of Islay, demonstrating the 'clouds over land' effect. If I was a better person I'd straighten out the horizon. We were in the Atlantic Ocean now, with strong winds forecast, which is where we were to stay for the next 3 weeks or so.
