9th July 2011

At first light all were on deck as we struggled to keep course round the point of Ayre off the Isle of Man.  The seas were rough, which added to the excitment and also those falling foul of sea sickness!  We sailed on up to the Mull of Galloway where we anchored for lunch and a power nap whilst waiting for the tide.  After recharging our batteries we headed around the Mull and up to the shelter of Loch Ryan where we anchored in an area named 'The Wig'.

As we were coming in, however, we briefly ran aground which was scary in the dark.  After crumble and custard we fell into our bunks!
