Sunday 29th July. Peel - Portpatrick

We needed to leave Peel in bit of a rush, as we wanted the favorable tide, but also had to pass under the swing bridge which had restrictive opening times.
We enjoyed a fairly stiff westerly breeze, which blew us all the way. A cracking good sail, the best of my trip so far, only marred by seasickness which did effect us both.
We arrived in Portpatrick, during their Lifeboat Day. Hymn's including 'for those in peril on the sea' were being sung. All the flags were out and there was kilts and bagpipes. We had crossed another sea and had arrived in another country.
