18th August Portpatrick

It was a short sail out of Loch Ryan and down the Rhins of Galloway to Porpatrick.  The entrance to Portpatrick  is narrow, with ruined breakwaters on either side and plenty of drying rocks to keep the skipper focused!   Once inside we were joined by several other yachts and soon got chatting, which is a great way to pick up local information and knowledge of the surrounding areas.  We had a lazy afternoon sitting on Moonshadow and then took a  walk around the village,  before enjoying a bottle of wine by candlelight on deck.  This sailing life is tough!
