We continue along the Northern Ireland coastline in our Bavaria 36 sailboat as we leave Ballycastle and Rathlin Island for the bright lights of Northern Irel...

well behind me are the seals of roughly

an island and they just look great

there's a little clip that holds the

flux compass in place and it may have

come loose when we get into port

[Music]

we tickle ferry across from ballet

castle to roughen Ireland because we

wanted to see the puffins

[Music]

we on a bus with no suspension got it

[Music]

there are lots Poppins in this picture

hiding amongst tens of thousands of

kilowatts but we did manage to see some

their bright orange fate ribbon standby

easy to spot in binoculars we then

looked at Rothman's famous upside-down

lighthouse before catching the bus back

to the only town in the island

stuff like that because the guys in

[Music]

eventually it was time to leave Bally

castle see West porush

[Music]

well it's certainly a lot to keep an eye

out as you as we sail across the north

coast of Ireland we've got roughly an

island to one side of us behind Beverly

we've got karakuri bridge can't really

see the bridge from where we are but we

can certainly see steep island which is

our next waypoint along the coast so

plenty to see

we were admiring the giant's causeway

coast when all of a sudden a problem

cropped up so our current issue is that

is the herring compass and that is the

heading on Annie's compass compass in

place and it may have come loose when we

get into port we'll have a look at it

right now we're about an hour and a half

fight and it's not worth pulling things

apart while we're at sea it's just

simply not worth the trouble

heavily and I have just come in from a

passage from Bali castle to port Raj and

I have to say this is where you need

something like mr. Dee

he really triumphs because we've come in

and we've got a really good hot meal

ready for us and that's exactly what you

want after a really really hard day it's

not really wasn't that hard because it

was just sort of like a passage but

after a passage you need some really

good hot food as you can see we're up

and raft up rather against this rather

large 50 footer and what I'm doing at

the minute is I'm running a line back

because the fishing book that was there

has gone and the plan is now to move the

boat back so we'll run a couple of mines

of the duck we'll give it a lot bursts

of reverse on the engine and then we'll

put it into that pontoon using the lines

that's the plan

what Bob's doing at the moment is

finding if there's any reason why the

flux capacitor flux compass went astray

yesterday so she's got a compass in the

starboard Locker having us having a look

see if there's any anything magnetic

that could have caused the issue but

look at my cockpit

it's got fenders everywhere it's two

o'clock in the morning in Northern

Ireland's version of black pill and you

can tell it's pre-season it's 10 o'clock

on a Saturday morning was hardly a

sinner in sight

[Music]

I'm winning big here how much have you

won that I've just spent the boundary of

two peas and I have got a toxic hearing

it up on a respectable isn't a fantastic

well port rosh is more like port slow

but very quiet little sleepy place but

I've just gone and spent some more to

peas in the arcades and I've got myself

a lolly so I'm gonna eat this as a walk

back down to the laughs

I know our channel is a little bit more

warts and all kind of channel this is

what sailing is really like and cruising

in the UK is really like but there are

times when I really could do with a few

lessons it is 4:30 in the morning and if

you ever hear the words dredging

operations in progress

run a mile do not go the harbour we came

here because Beth's mom is on holiday

here so this is a great way to see

Beth's mom but otherwise I would have

known for I come to pull rush as Watson

all is not good

[Music]

well my stomach's in knots because

Beverly normally just harvest I'm gonna

be able to sail this boat single-handed

and I've so got to do it but cement

stomach's in knots my worries

the people's people just started puddle

boarding in the marine Aeryn I did it I

got I got this out and then when we were

out in the bay I had to do little

circles because Annie had gone on the

blink in our previous passage and now

we're gonna have to move her again

anyway Annie had gone on the blink and

so I was driving around in circles but

at least now Annie is that's all

autopilot is now saying roughly exactly

the same as what the compass is saying

and although I'm standing here it's

really Annie who's actually in control

there's something magical about sailing

I think it's the quietness of everything

even though it's a pretty overcast day

it just feels and whoa we've got plenty

of Rolie stuff as well actually yeah

this will be our very first Atlantic

swell that we've ever encountered so

we're getting plenty of that as we sail

across the island there was a change in

the wind the waves began to pile up and

the Coast Guard started warning to

generating weather so we changed our

strategy and motor sales strip towards

the nearest safe harbor which was poor

Delmon Island a particular tank

appeared out of practically no weddings

if every just came out of the midst lots

of lighting bomb is it basically it's

gas it's a gas carrier so that's what

floating bomb look like that's something

don't we go and find out what that is a

little bit foggy coming in but I can

imagine this scenery being absolutely

stunning on a beautiful day so that's

point port ellen ahead of us yeah we've

got it in the fog but well it's really

just slight mist so that's what we've

got we've reached poured Ellen on Isla

and it looks absolutely glorious

glorious as you can see lovely little

Harbor to be in but there are hidden

hazards aren't there yes we came in into

the harbor last night and we were

advised by a local to move our boat from

the seaward side to the harbor you know

to the inside because there's gonna be a

bit of a blow later and you know it's

slightly more sheltered on the harbor

side so so we DS aside to do that and

Bev's put the boat into reverse and all

of a sudden it started juddering

you
