Dolphins and fair wind on the way to Peel

After a leisurely breakfast in Ardglas, we set sail at lunchtime for gentle 30 mile trip to Peel on the Isle of Man

The time past relatively quickly and was enriched by a visit from a group of dolphins which swam next to the boat for about 10 minutes. Sadly, the anticipated sighting of Minkie  whales did not materialise

I learnt that it is very difficult to photograph dolphins ... particularly when you are also steering but try to imagine the scene from this photo!!

We were pleased to arrive in Peel just before high tide and when it was still light, so were able to enter the inner harbour after only a short wait.

I really like Peel, which is fortunate as we will be staying here for a few days for crew change and sightseeing.
