Hike to the top of Holy Island with views of Lamlash bay amd Arran

The water is green in the irish sea..of course. 130 NM overnight passage to Lamlash bay, Arran Island. 22 hrs and mostly an easy one except for the foul 2kt tidal current in the North Channel around midnight.

HYC allows visitors when members vacate their slips. We were lucky enough to get one and today I'm walking the cliff trail.

Arrived an hour before our friend Mr TStorm. Snug marina with beautiful surroundings.

Enjoyed visiting the Ulster museum in Belfast via an easy rail trip from Bangor. Also went to the RUYC, Royal Ulster Yacht Club for a look see and enjoyed the history there from our perch at the bar. No photos allowed in the club. Its a bit proper but still a good time. Photo is the Queens University of Belfast. Also visited the Titanic quarter and museum.

Fun visit with niece Miranda here while she completes an internship. Ballycastle is a summer town with beautiful surroundings. We just tallied our anchorages. 48 since we left Ardrossan harbour in April. What a trip so far.
