6th July : Ardglass, Northern Ireland


Had a great sail across the Irish Sea to Ardglass in about 6.5 hours, and secured a berth in Phennick Cove Marina, a small privately owned outfit on one side of the harbour. The approach is a little ‘interesting’ and it is definitely worth a good hard look at the pilot in advance. Once berthed, we were very comfortable, and booked in for two nights to allow some exploration, and laundry ! The following day we did a little shopping to re-stock supplies, had a very pleasant walk across the links golf course, and had a surprisingly good ( and very reasonable ) meal in a Chinese restaurant on the edge of the harbour – If you ever go there, do try the deep fried ice cream desert ! We tried it for a laugh, but it was absolutely delicious, having a crust of coconut batter, and served with a large jug of syrup – naughty but nice !!!
