Day 10
Up at 7.30 a.m. and on the water for 9 a.m. We left Knightstown and headed across Dingle Bay and through the Blasket Sound. We pulled in to Dunquin for lunch with the weather just ideal for paddling - sun shining and the wind low. From there we headed around Clogher Head, past Smerwick Harbour and on for Brandon Head. The cliff scenery either side of Smerwick Harbour was just beautiful. Just beyond Smerwick we met another kayaker, called Dave Thompson coming in the opposite direction. Dave, from Newfoundland, Canada is on a kayaking holiday here, exploring the islands of the southwest. We rounded Brandon Head and have come into Brandon Point for the night. The sunny day has done wonders for Tony's tan but has somewhat quietened Derek - we have only heard a little bit of Christy Moore today! (As you can see Derek is doing his best to catch up with Tony - ya, this is the life) 40 miles on this evening after 8 hours and 47 mins of paddling - a good day.

Derek, Brian, Tony,
Heard about your trip from Martin Geoghegan the other day, fair play to ye. Glad the weather has improved for ye and it looks good for the next few days too. Brian, any truth in the rumour that you have an outboard motor attached to the kayak and that it is overflowing with red diesel. Keep an eye on him, he's a hoor for the red diesel. Make sure ye drop off all the footballs before ye leave Kerry (we won't need them for a while after Sunday).
Enjoy the trip, looking forward to checking in on yere progress.
Peter

Hi lads glad to see ye are back in good spirits again and enjoying the scenery as ye move on. I wonder was Derek being quite anything to do with the food Brian. I wouldnt be suprised if theres an SOS sent out for Catherine just make sure she leaves the hoover at home.
