Thursday 9th May
Weather is howling and a blowing - poor Sea Sense is rocking and rolling on the pontoon. We have had to put out all our ropes to secure the yacht. The wind reached 50knts, and it is getting worse today, and is now raining as well. All the fishing boats are in the harbour, and there is a Lifeboat waiting to be delivered to Plymouth, and isn't moving, although it should have gone yesterday.
Yesterday although blowy, as least it was sunny. Brian and Ian did a job on the boom, which had some wear on it needed some welding. Carol and I went on the bus to Wexford, which was very pleasant. There isn't much in the way of food shops here so we needed some provisions. We also picked up some DVD's from the charity shops, looks like we may be watching a few.
Ian cooked up a wonderful risotto with scallops, mussels, crab and prawns Dessert was my ..homemade fruit cake with cheese, grapes and Port.. We may as well enjoy our food.
We had a game of whist again and Brian and Carol beat Ian and I. Never mind looks like we may be playing a lot.
Kilmore Quay is a small fishing village, It has quite a nice pub, and a few restaurants, and a few other shop it looks as if we may be here for a while. We are waiting to see if we have a window at the weekend to be able to progress up the coast.
Time will tell, but I am not too hopeful at the moment.
