Up this morning at 5.15 a.m, had breakfast and on the water for 7.15 a.m. We passed Loop Head shortly after 8 a.m. and with the seas calm and the sun shining it was a magnificent sight. We turned the headland and the usual North Easterly wind was in our faces. We stopped in a cove just north of Kilkee for lunch after 25 miles and realised with the constant head wind affecting progress, we were not going to make it to the Aran Islands as planned. After lunch we made for Liscannor, past Mutton Island and paddled across Liscannor Bay. The constant wind made it a long and ardous day and we pulled up on a beach just north of Liscannor after 7 p.m. We have pulled the gear onto the beach and have hitched a lift into the town. We are about to sit down for a meal and make plans for tomorrow. We hope to be joined by Thomas Walsh on Saturday who plans to paddle with us for a few days. 40 miles on and 10 hours 41 minutes on the water. Tired!
p.s. I have noticed that there is some concern about the regularity of our pub visits - please note that I am purely only acting as chaperone to the boys .... it is a tough job to keep them out of trouble!
