As per the last 5 days, the wind was still from the north and blowing F5-6 which meant another downwind sail - no complaints again then. The sun came out and we had wall to wall blue sky for the 20 mile sail down to Belfast Lough and into Bangor Marina. The waves were quite high with all this wind so we left one reef in. Exciting sailing and a good job we weren't going the other way.
Bangor Marina is big with good facilities. It turned out to be regatta weekend so the RUYC was packed. We went up to the bar for a pint after eating in the town. Wifi access was via BT Openzone but what a rip off at £10 for the day.
The weather is looking like the wind will go westerly and then south westerly by tuesday hence the plan is now to aim to get down to Dublin by monday evening so we will head off to Ardglass this afternoon.
