Went over to the big island from Bangor tonight, nice wee run, was going to go for Church Bay but the tide was running strong in the sound and creating a bit of a swell so went for this one looking toward orlock point instead, nice steep beach so could motor right in.
Tried again tonight, but a fresh south easterly breeze was kicking up a fair swell again once I rounded Ballymacormick Point, so played in the shelter of ballyholme bay for a while.
twenty years ago myself and a couple of mates did a night paddle round copelands. we set of in three kayaks from donagadee and rounded both islands before heading back. i seem to remember some good overfalls between the islands. also rafting up in the dark as the belfast ferry went past, very errie. nice trip and interesting islands.
