| | | West Maiden Old Light House
It took a couple of days to motor cross the Irish Sea to the Irish East coast. Then, at last, sufficient wind to make it worth hoisting the sails. On a beam reach Tramontana headed North. The photograph is of the old lighthouse on West Maiden, a group of treacherous isolated rocks ten miles off the coast of Ireland. As the third night since leaving Conwy slipped by, I journeyed ever closer to The Sound of Islay, purposefully slowing down to wait for dawn, and the turn of the tide, before transiting this ten mile long, narrow stretch of water between the Scottish Islands of Islay and Jura.
