Those of you who are following us on the spot and may wonder: yes, we did turn around and went back to Bangor Marina. A winch broke and a thingamajig holding the jib broke. Not our lucky day. On the "bright side of life" we met our friends Gunn and Ola on Norwegian s/y Idun again and the Dutch couple Jef and Marin on the catamaran Miss Poe and had a great evening. From the lovely Gunn and Ola we got a present - a book about celestial navigation. Since everything else is failing you..., they said. It´s so nice being in the presence of good friends. Thank you.

We so enjoyed meeting you both in Glenarm Co Antrim. Thank you for coming to our house for dinner last night with Gunn and Olla David and Pauline.I am sorry your washing was still damp, hope you didnt have to sleep in it ! It would have been good to have had time to show you around some of Northern Ireland but maybe on your homeward journey you will pass this way again and have lots of exciting tales to tell us !
ReplyDeleteWe hope you have very happy and safe sailing.
Lots of love Liz and Uel Gillan
