Day 44 Port Ellen to Glen Arm Northern Ireland

We say goodbye to Scotland on our way back to Plymouth. Our route looks like it will be Glen Arm - Peel IOM - Dun Laoghaire Ireland - Arklow Ireland - Milford Haven - Lundy - Padstow and then around the Cornwall to Plymouth.

We leave Port Ellen at 6am to try and benefit from favourable tides east of Rathlin Island. The wind takes us a long at a far faster speed than planned and we run in the remaining part of the north going tide east of Rathlin and battle against the wind that has backed and a strong tide. Nevertheless despite a choppy ride, we arrive in Glen Arm in good time. Not a day for photographs.
