Brilliant Belfast

It was only a short hop from Bangor to Belfast. We unfurled the headsails, mainly for show, and motorsailed into the city. We are based in the Abercorn Basin, near the new Titanic Belfast visitor attraction. It was a beautiful afternoon when we arrived. We enjoyed a trip to see the Harbour Commissioners' Offices. We had flambéd chicken back aboard Toucando. New crew member Anne arrived. This morning David left, having come all the way from Milford Haven. Today the crew have been exploring Belfast. It is a wonderfully warm and sunny day. Tomorrow we take a trip up the Lagan for lunch.

I was pleased to spot this toucan


Flambéd chicken with salad...


... not to forget the fresh fruit with chocolate sauce.
