Ireland and onto Scotland

Published on: 12th August, 2024

Allan, Mhairi and Boudicea have made it back to Scotland!

Rowing up the east coast of Ireland has been great. Good conditions and weather meant that Allan and Mhairi were able to keep a very steady 6 hours on 6 hours rowing pattern all the way up the coast.

After successfully crossing the busy ports of Dublin and Belfast they arrived in Red Bay on the Antrim Coast to be met by one of the volunteer RNLI Coxswains who came out to visit them. It was carnival night in the village and they were treated to an incredible fireworks display.

But there was no carnival on Boudicea because just a few tantalising hours of rowing away was the Scottish coastline. So hauling anchor while Red Bay partied Boudicea slipped out of the bay and headed home to Scotland.
