WHYW Delivery Day 2. Bangor to Port Ellen

The team on Going to Red made great time on our 54.7 NM delivery from Bangor to Port Headland. The breeze was out of the West as we left at 6am in the morning, it was quite fresh as we skipped across Belfast Harbour on our way North. As the sun rose and the tide switched around to help us we were getting around 7 or 8 knots over the ground. Mid morning the breeze switched around and filled in for the South East. We popped up the A3 and had a great ride up towards port headland. With that breeze building to up to 18 knots true we accelerated to between 10 and 12 knots over ground which made short work of the trip. With the autopilot taking care of the business it was great to take some time out to show you all what we were up too. The team at bottom up boats hope you stick around for more action over the next week as we get into race mode for West Highland Week.
