Cruise of 2002

For 2002 we cruised Northern Ireland, Gigha, Islay & Jura. I think we were lucky with the weather as we had three weeks of brilliant sunshine however we also had little wind.

We started off by sailing to Campbletown then on to Glenarm in Northern Ireland.

From Glenarm we caught the tide going north up to Ballycastle. With a strong wind blowing off the land giving us a beam reach most of the way we managed nearly 10 knots over the ground arriving at Ballycastle at 10am.

We spent a few days at Ballycastle. Visiting Bushmills and the Giants Causeway From Northern Ireland we sailed to Gigha, one of our favourite places.
