We crossed the North Channel to Northern Ireland and put in at the small marina at Glenarm. Unfortunately we had to motor all the way against a SW headwind. On arrival we were welcomed by a cheery attendant who took our lines, details and berthing fee and pointed us in the direction of a lovely forest walk in the glen – one of the Nine Glens of Antrim. Showing us the toilets, which would have been a credit to any West of Scotland harbour, he opined that they were somewhat dated – describing them in his Irish way as being “new for too long”.
