Gola Island

We stayed in Portrush overnight where we met Andrew who had just single handed northwards up the west coast and told me that he had had 2 or 3 good days and incessant strong winds such that beafort 5 - 7 was normal. From Portrush we stayed in Sheep Haven for a night on one of the visitors moorings, it poured with rain. Then onwards to Gola which is when I was pleased that I'd installed the chart plotter - I got horribly confused trying to match up what I could see with what was on the chart, complete nightmare, the chart plotter sorted things out nicely. Here we are anchored on the south side hiding from the wind and about to get spooked by what we found on the island.
