Well we arrived into the marina in Kinsale to a huge reception of Family and Friends, having motored along from the Skelligs accompanied by Gannets my favourite sea bird.
In what was an emotional homecoming in one part to see our family once again but also to remember that we left these shores in 2008 to circumnavigate the Atlantic and that Challenge was now complete, 14,000 miles later.
The only regret was that Dad was not on the marina to welcome us in, as he would have so loved to have done. But I have no doubt he was present in Spirit.
Now after a few days ashore the dizziness has evaporated and the ground has stopped moving as we have found our land feet.
The prospect of heading to work once again is the next challenge!
Finally a Huge Thank You to all who read our Blog and followed us along the way, our final mileage count was 3,900 miles from Newfoundland to Ireland via Greenland.
