We
left Fleetwood on July 3rd and had a long and tiring bash up to
Whitehaven. We had two nights in Whitehaven to re-charge our batteries, then
set out for the Isle of Man. Previously, we had taken a visitor mooring in Port
St. Mary but there is another smaller bay close by called Derby Haven which we
had made a mental note of. With the winds as they were Derby Haven was very
sheltered, and made for a perfect anchorage for the night. Ronaldsway airport backs
onto one side of the bay, and it was quite amusing to see the aircraft coming
and going. After a very quiet, and peaceful night, we set off across the
western side of the Irish sea towards Ireland, and ‘un-charted’ territory,
electing to pass south of ‘Chicken Rock’ rather than through ‘Calf Sound’.
