Glenarm marina . Roy powering up!
Getting back on the water after little break for a week or so was great. This Sunday the weather 9 deg c and wind's decreasing and swinging from the west, so up the Antrim coast we headed. Glenarm is a little sleepy village which used to quarry lime to be used here and in Scotland in the building trade . Now it's only busy in the summer with tourist's and fishermen , when I was a kid I would fish here for cod and flatfish , now it's the turn of my little one's Lauren and Lee who love fishing. ps click picture's to enlarge.Roy launching at the slip at the marina .
Roy taking it all in !
Here are the Salmon cages,were all of the fish were wiped out by jelly fish last week, I was talking to a local person and they told me that boat's even had difficulty going through the water because of the density of the jelly fish ! apparently the salmon that were not stung to death died from lack of oxygen in the water. Today not one little blob was to be seen anywhere!
We named this island - poo island for obvious reason's, 
Me taking five.
Roy getting a good sniff of poo island!

Note the defence's on the right , to fend of kayaker's who approach from the sea !

The blobfest that wiped out your salmon got some press here in Oz. We've now got a baitfish plague on the east coast that's bringing in much, much larger fish to eat them. Surfers in Qld and Northern NSW are swimming with makos and other assorted sharks looking for a feed. So far nobody's been bitten but there's no panic either. They are right in the surf zone with the swimming public.
Anyway, keep paddling and posting. I love looking at the places you guys go.
Danny,
Your Blog's great and some stunning pictures too,
