Strangford Loch Northern Ireland
01 August 2018
We motored all the way, with an aim to get through the pass into the loch before the tide turned. What a beautiful surprise. Nice looking properties on either side, with green well wooded areas.
Sam,is a solo Irish sailor we met 7 years ago in Papetee, whilst we were both anti fouling our boats. James's goal was to visit him on his home turf, hence this trip North. (Where the summer sea temperatures never get above 14.5!!
During our short 3 day visit, Sam was a perfect and very enthusiastic host, driving us around, through beautiful country roads, all the way up to Giants Causway, which was swarming with thousands of tourist, to Belfast, to local pubs, to an evening of Irish folk music, and of course fine samplings of Guinness and Irish whisky!
