Inner Seas Off The West Coast Of Scotland to Ballycastle, United Kingdom

TELA
Sadler 26
The morning started out bright and sunny with a lovely SW 3-5 wind. Needed to beat into wind until I passed the OA off Islay but could then lay a course to west of the TSS. at that point the wind died and the heavens opened . Rathlin island popping in and out of the mist. Torrential rain followed by hail on the approach to Ballycastle and a rainbow off Fair Head. Big seas due to the Atlantic swell and strong tides at this choke point. Now changed out into dry clothes and cooking supper. I'm here for a couple of days until the wind turns west.
