(A bonxie, probably contemplating the future)
Much though we love Troon, we have decided that we need to end up somewhere warmer next year.
Our plan is to sail to Spain.
This epic will be undertaken in a series of legs. The first leg will be determined by my arduous responsibilities at Essex Polytechnic.
So, approximately:
Leg one Troon to Shannon
Troon 15th March 2015
Campbeltown
Glenarm
Rathlin Isles
Portrush
Lough Foyle
Sheep Haven
Bloody Foreland
Inishkeel
Killybegs
Sligo
Killala
Broadhaven
Westport
Ballynakill
Aran Islands
eventually to Kilrush Marina in the Shannon Estuary, and Ryan Air back home by about 10th April.
Sailing
Leg two Shannon to Cornwall

thence:

Leg three Cornwall to Spain
