We have finally arrived here in Cork Its taken us 2 weeks. We have done 205 miles.1000 to go It could have been worse we could still be in Milford Haven.
We have a change of crew today. Brian and Ian are on their way home, and Vanessa and Liz will arrived this afternoon.
On our way from We left Kilmore Quay on Tuesday 14th. the fishing fleet had been able to get out at last. The Plymouth Lifeboat was finally delivered by the Kilmore Lifeboat Crew.
They returned on Monday evening, there was a shout, which was handy, as we were able to get the signatures of the Lifeboat Crew.
We decided to go along to Youghal and stay in the small town harbour. We had a good trip and just caught the last bit of a strong wind force 6 gusting 7 with hail and rain. Not very nice. Brian was on the helm I was on lookout. Ian and Carol below doing the navigation. (lucky for them)
We had a nice stay although difficult to get on and off of the yacht as there were no ladders.
It is a nice town, and had a lifeboat. We were shown around the station, and went to see the crew on exercise, and collected all their signatures.
We left Yougal on 16th May on route to Cork. We had a good trip along to Royal Cork Y.C.
Carol and I went into Cork on the bus. It is a very nice city. We loved the English Market, and bought some kippers for breakfast. Spoiling the crew before they leave.
