Wind and weather forecast delay departure of Spanish galleon from Coleraine - Andalucia set to stay for another week
The magnificent Spanish galleon Andalucia will be staying in Coleraine for a bit longer!
Due to depart for Scotland on Monday, July 20, Coleraine Harbour Commissioners have announced that El Galeon Andalucia will be staying for a further week.
The Captain of the ship requested to remain alongside Riversdale Quayside in Coleraine, due to the forecast weather conditions and unsuitable wind direction for the vessel’s onward passage north to Oban.
Coleraine Harbour Commissioners granted his request, meaning the ship and her crew will remain in Coleraine for a further week.
In a post on social media, Coleraine Harbour said: “The good news is that El Galleon will remain open to the public throughout the week while she continues her stay in Coleraine.
"We’ll post the revised departure date and time here on this Facebook page as soon as details are confirmed.
"Again thank you for your continued support and for helping give El Galleon and her crew such a warm welcome in Coleraine.”
