On a sunny late afternoon Seventh Wave headed south for N Ireland. After a cracking sail down the Sound of Jura the wind died so we motored into Port Ellen on Islay. The next day saw us crossing a very jumpy North Channel then into the smooth waters of Loch Foyle and an 18 mile trip up to the centre of Londonderry.
After a couple of nights and a exploration of a very nice city we left for the small seaside town Portrush. Sailing through some seriously rough seas we were glad to slip into the peace of the harbour. The following day saw us across the North channel and up to Gigha where the crew had a great time exploring that lovely island. A final run up the Sound of Jura in absolutely calm conditions ended what was a great cruise.
