Leaving Bangor for Glenarm today

June 27th, 2008, 2:06:43 am

by Paul Churchley

I have woken to a F3-4 in the marina which is certainly stronger outside and so I am not very hopeful to make it to Port Askaig today. However, I am leaving Bangor today and if it does not look good then I will nip into Glenarm Marina… a little known marina in an old harbour some 20nm north of Belfast Loch. I will be safe there until a crossing of the North Channel is possible.

I don’t like going to sea when there are F5s in the forecast and the sea forecast is Moderate on the inshore forecast but slight and F3-4 almost everywhere else. Basically they don’t know and the computer models suggest it could go either way. Happy Days!

Once at Glenarm I will have a better shot at crossing in the next few days if there is a window.
