Funny you mention that as I was in Malahide yesterday evening doing a few bits on board, and noticed a load of teenagers on RIB's & Jet Ski's bombing around outside and inside the marina... 1 young lad in particular was acting the proper maggot inside the marina on a jet ski!!!, and ironically enough at about the same time I got the Malahide Marina newsletter which mentioned about complaints received of folk not observing the speed limits in the harbour & marina....
Saw a RIB too coming in at about 20 knots through the moorings and only slowed down as he got to the marina entrance...
Then what looked to be a huge fire out on the sea or beach just outside the estuary.... (Fire brigade came so assume it was the beach)
Mother of god those jet ski's and the noise they make is so annoying!!

I passed the Squibs on Saturday heading south (dipped below their leeward marks so as not to interfere, though was well clear by the time they made the marks anyway), and passed them again on Sunday as they were all heading into the harbour after racing.. then arrived into Malahide to see quite a few Howth boats there, so must have been an event of some sort....
anyway, passed this big monstrosity in the anchorage in Dublin Bay on Saturday..

A couple of photos of the Cong to Galway race on Saturday. It had been postponed earlier in the summer due to storm force winds. Unfortunately, it was the opposite problem this time out with virtually no wind.
Since there wasn’t a lot happening on the water, I found out where @Faerdan was hiding and cashed in on his lunch. 😁

There was a photo of her in the Afloat article less full of water and a line to shore, so perhaps indeed she started taking on water quite fast and headed for the nearest land, which is the wall, despite being quite rocky!!
That far up the river they'd have been motoring for around ~15 minutes or so from the Poolbeg lighthouse, so possibly engine related too?
I wonder what happens now as although it's on the bottom, it could very easily get washed out into the channel and become a hazard to shipping! especially with the rig still standing.
