Long day to Ireland




After a few hours at Anchor we were rudely awoken at 5.30 to be on our way for 6 for the trip across to Ireland. We split in to two watches and we both took turns for 2 hours at a time for looking out for anything and making sure we are on the right track and sorting the sails out. When we left Milford Haven we was surrounded by and had to navigate through thick fog, after the fog had burnt away we were greeted by a pod of dolphins to join our 15 hour journey.
The sun came out and we were trying to catch some of it while chilling eating bacon barms later that day when everybody were hungry the secret chefs (DJ & Paul ) came to our rescue with a nice curry to fill everybody up.
After what seemed like a long day we finally arrived at our intended target. After seen our toilets and showers at the marina we settled down with a hot drink when a local fisherman came round to offer us some fresh fish we have organized a delivery for the morning if he can catch us in time
And hi to Amanda if you are stalking us still. Sorry for the delay technical issues with the internet!
