25th June
The morning was spent shopping for groceries and getting ready for Lucy. Her train from the airport came in at 13.20,
and as soon as we came to the boat we lunched. The oil change was accomplished, and I checked the impeller for good measure. Later we walked over to the old harbour, now disused, and back into town where we enjoyed coffee and scones. They are preparing some kind of sea festival for the weekend. Ominous ranks of large black loudspeakers fill one with dread. Why the cult of electronically boosted volume? In their defence, the organisers have laid on a brass band as well. But we shall miss it all, leaving before it all begins. Our next port of call will be Glenarm, some 25 miles up the coast. The forecast is good, with a tail wind. By setting off at high water we will get a helpful tide all the way.
