| | In Belfast Lough
Only when the tide turned at 6 pm could we regain lost ground and make progress South. Glenarm Marina may have been but fifteen miles away at 1 pm, but we didn't pass it until 1 am, in the dark, pressing on for Belfast Lough to make the most of the long awaited favourable tide. The photograph above, sent to me by Rossographer, shows Tramontana off Bangor Marina, Northern Ireland, at first light on our third consecutive day at sea. We used the Marina as a half hour pit-stop to refuel before pressing on, first South, then West to begin a crossing of the Irish Sea.
