Susie helming during week 1 (photo courtesy of Rob Armstrong)7:50 Forecast: Wind veering W – NW to F6 along N. coast. Thur – Fri NW 5, occasionally 6 at first. 3 day forecast – Strong winds. Not the forecast you want for going around Malin Head for the first time!! So reluctantly we decided to retire to our homeport of Bangor by car for the next few days.
The Harbour Master Richard McKay kindly assisted us onto a mooring in the harbour and arranged for our tender to be stored securely ashore. The Skipper’s wife Maggie traveled up from Bangor to collect us.
