51:31.6N 09:10.2W  Vicki here.......Next day after the party we headed out to explore the southwest coast.  What beautiful landscapes.  Weather: 60's with 25knt winds and partly cloudy.  With all sails up we headed to a quaint sea side harbor town of Castletownshend.  It was about a 4hr sail.  Dropped anchor.... delightful!  Next day we walked several miles outside of town taking in the beautiful flowers and views.  We had an early afternoon dinner at "Mary Ann's" pub and restaurant which was awarded Seafood Chef of 2012 for the UK & Ireland & Irish Pub of the year.  Again "the luck of the Irish" for us.  And yes, our seafood dinner was outstanding.  It also is the only restaurant in town.  It is several hundred years old and has quintessential, Irish Pub atmosphere.  We had a wonderful discussion with the owner about the US.
