Cork to Lisbon

At Royal Cork Yacht Club Marina in welcome sunshine and clear blue skies.  A beautiful morning to set off on our 800 nm/five day voyage to Lisbon.  Colin joined us last night and we expect to meet Susan in Lisbon.  Just a few boat jobs to do, fuel up and we're off.......

Met up with Bobby McEwing at Howth Yacht Club and next day took the "Dart" into Dublin for a Guiness lunch and then Geoff Howison joined us on Kinabalu for a bowl of chorizo penne in the evening.  He's having fun, working on the "event" scene in Dublin.  We had a strenuous sail from Howth to Arklow, the gale having left lumpy seas and the weather still very cold.  Made good progress though and tied up early evening alongside a large fishing boat in Arklow after having found the depth sounder at zero on the pontoon!
