We set off from Arranmore Island at 7.00am and set off for Lough Swilley. Again the wind was set fair and we managed to sail the whole way. A combination of a fast Broad Reach and a Downwind leg East to the mouth of the lough.
We sailed past Tory Island, unusual in that it had up until recently a king in place. Interview with hi here….https://youtu.be/P6hsLrdPhhM
We also sailed past the Seven Sisters that had been shrouded in cloud until we got level with them.
Lough Swilley is huge, the mouth being 5 miles wide and our destination some 12 miles into the Lough at Rathmullan, a very pretty village. The pontoon unfortunately doesn’t have any facilities on it, so as we haven’t had a proper shower for sometime and our devices are all pretty much discharged. We came up with a cunning plan to see if we can hire a room in the village for a clean up and recharge.
Unfortunately the weather is closing in again and we may be stuck here for a few days.
