d50 s18 Aug15 Wed Rathlin Island-Bangor, County Down 35nm

Started at 04:00 to get the most of the tidal streams. 
Had a torrid 2 hrs punching into easterlies (wind against tide) along the N Antrim coast.  
Once round xxx Head, close reached SE. Zoomed along past the highland glens and the Mountains of Mourne (see day13) and turned into Belfast Lough. 
Moored at bangor marina on the S side of the lough, for protection against the coming southerly gales.
