Wed.3rd September 2009
07.00 had a light breckfeast at the Alveston Manor
hotel and set off in Aileens car< which she loves to bits, but I think its
like 2 deck chairs on
a set of wheels.
Traffic was heavy enough, but in any event, we made
good time back to Hollyhead. the weather was miserable and the crossing
was rough.
We met Leah,Johnny , Sarah and Stefan on wed night
and had an Indian meal in ballsbridge.
had an earley night in the Westbury Hotel, nearly
all those we new there are now retired. How things move on..and whats more
frightning is,
this includes our age bracket. feck, just sail on
and forget about the whole thing.
Thursday 4th Sept. 2009
An early start, Stephen met Peter Redden and Bill
Rickard for an 08.oo breckfeast. we departed Dublin at 09.30 and had a fast
drive home.
The new motorways are just great. we were back to
Cork in just 2.1/2 hours, More meetings at lunch time , a little gardening late
in the afternoon,
and we went to Douglas for something to eat.
earley bed. zzzzzzz
Friday 5th Sept 2009
An early start. and off to Baltimore to Pauls House
for the weekend. Sarah and hubby Paul were also staying. The first thing on the
agenda was
THE WEDDING. 2 pm in Glandore, Eric How and Ms
Maloney were married. a nice simple weddind with the reception in the rectory
later.
The weather was brilliant and it was facinating as
I was not drinking. To listen to all the crap being spouted out. the kind of
thing drunks do.
We drove back to Baltimore at 2 am , having had a
very good day.
Saturday 6th Sept 2009
A slow start and long breckfast, followed by a walk
up to the beacon, we met Neill Hegarty and his new girlfriend on the way, plus
some of the
Murphy O' Connors, all very pleasent and civilised.
Roddy Maloney had a party at 2.00 pm which went on all day. S.H. went out to "
Cruachan "
and tidied up the boat , plus strap up the sails
and fix the mooring lines.
