Change of tack

We've spent 4 hours making 10 miles. This weather system is predicted to be stable for at least 48 hours - winds SE 4 - 5 rising 6. Therefore we have a few options. Stay in race mode and spend maybe 3 days beating into a 6 in order to stop going North
Or
Spend 10 hours beating down to Mull of Galloway and anchor and wait
Or
Spend 4 hours reaching over to Bangor (N.I) and anchoring to sit it out
So we're off to Ireland

Hello Keith, Nautical college Pete here, just got back from Spain and checked out the link, i had no idea you were doing this! Hope you and the rest of the crew are having a good time ferry dodging and are staying safe. Looking forward to hearing about your trip, good luck and look after yourselves.

Hi all. Glad to see you are moving even if it is slowly and in the wrong direction. What did you do the the GPS?

Enjoy the coast of Ireland and we will all hope for a nice Northerly tomorrow
