Weekend photos

fergal.b

Launched at butlers marina with the help of forum member Moonshadow who also offered me bed & breakfast dinner and drinks on board his cruiser for the weekend

Heading for Drumsna for the night.

Up to Albert lock was stunning.

In Drumsna we met up with a few more members from the powerboat and carrick branch that were running a care day for special needs kids on the saturday.

The skippers meeting went on long into the night

Next morning we set off for Roosky to bring the kids to "waterside adventure centre"
The other way.

There must have been about 20 boats with us by the time we got to Roosky including the famous barge Rambler, all in all a great day was had by the kids and a great day and night was had by us

We figured we wouldnt be finished till after 11 at the earliest and was easier to head home, dont even know if we,d have had enough chain and warp to anchor.

Was a long day. Think we gave up about 5 after getting around the 2nd virtal mark heading back towards kish and still had to motor 2.5 hours home.

I saw a funny one on facebook from Prof O'Connell where he said they gave up at 11pm after having their 2nd 'should we anchor' discussion...

That was one looooooooong, tricky race (sorry, training session!) yesterday!

I think only 4 or 5 of us stuck it out to the bitter end.

Managed to get out on May 1st for a first sail of the season, and it was glorious.

The sky at sea looked a lot more pleasant than on land...

Reached up as far as Taylors Rock Cardinal, and then close reached back to Malahide, 6.5-7kts..

Fantastic day for it, and hopefully we get many more.

ah, kenmare bay, love that spot, have a swim in it most septembers, although it's followed by a 85km cycle over healy pass and caha pass and a half marathon around kenmare (Lost sheep half ironman triathlon)

Beer & boats. Be a while before i get at the boat

Daibheid

Fitted a new Fishfinder during lockdown and needed to launch and test it in case the boat was needed in the off season. Got a brief weather window despite a small craft warning and hauled it down and went out for an hour. Freezing cold and a lot of hassle so took a real effort. But I took the opportunity to do a sweep of outer Dunmanus bay as I hadn't seen any sign of common dolphins and reckoned they're all gone to Cork harbour.
Nothing as expected but biting cold and freezing spray. Then the sun came out and I was running downwind in front of a huge period ocean swell -pic - and all was well in the world.
Then only minutes from the pier....

The weather kicked back in with a vengeance an hour or so later but an unexpected bonus trip in the off season. If you get the chance....

Running East on the last evening before lockdown. Freezing cold but I did get the very last out of it before hauling out!

Decided to bring the SLR with us for a spin over to DL yesterday, not a whole lot of action other than the Puppeteers out of Howth racing...

Wow, what an experience.

I've seen pilots in the Irish sea, plenty of dolphins on offshores, even had a big'un surface beside us on a round Ireland off the west coast! (it was bigger than the 40ft boat I was on).

They are always a pleasure and humbling experience to behold.

Jaysus, you got it all there!! Fabulous!!

I was lucky enough to see a family of humpbacks playing and feeding for a morning in Antarctica, a memory I'll always treasure.
