Peel, Isle of Man to Stranraer, United Kingdom
So the Holdens have made it to Scotland!! Lovely sail on leaving Peel then the wind dropped so engine on but exciting to see Scotland appear. First Mull of Galloway as we entered North Channel, then we got a view of Ailsa Craig (the ‘big rock’ at entrance of Firth of Clyde). Arran and Mull of Kintyre appeared as well, all “fantasy” places for us over many hours of looking at pilot books and charts at home! Lovely sunset as we entered Loch Ryan and are now anchored in total calm waters outside Stranraer - going to enjoy it while it lasts!
