Calmer seas

After such windy and miserable weather yesterday, today was bright and sunny.  So we went out and about partly on business and partly to buy a small piece of furniture that Mrs Mac had spotted on Gumtree.  This was located in Donaghadee, so I took the opportunity to catch a shot of the lighthouse and harbour.  Building of the first stone harbour began in 1616, though there had been a jetty here long before that.  The present harbour dates from the 1820s.  The harbour is also home to a lifeboat station and you can see the Trent Class lifeboat, Saxon, in the picture.
