Thursday - a day for repairs ! Photo below of me up
the mast repairing the Lazyjacks.
Weather was terrible - gale force 8 for most of the
day - the whole Ardglass fishing fleet was confined to the harbour so we decided
to get up at 5am Friday and see what the sea was like over the harbour wall - It
was still rough so we went back to bed and up again at 7am and set off
regardless leaving the fishermen still in their beds - stupid or what
!!!
The morning was not good - the sea was rough and
the winds were reaching 40mph plus at times but we hugged the shoreline to get
out of the big swell and managed to get down to Dublin - Malahide
harbour.
Tomorrow is forecast for pretty much the same so we
are off again at 7am for a 12 hour sail down to Kilmore quay at the southern
east tip of Ireland.
It`s not all bad though - had a good meal in a Thai
restaurant this evening !!!
We live in hope for some winds that we can actually
use the sails in !
