Day 34

Up at 5.30 a.m. and in the water for 7.30 a.m. The plan was to paddle on the outgoing tide to get us as far down the east coast as possible. Fortunately the wind was at our backs so we made good progress. We paddled the first 30 miles in these conditions and made good progress down to Carnsore Point, crossing Wexford Bay and Rosslare without any difficulty. Once we rounded Carnsore Point the wind changed direction coming up from the south. This made paddling the next 6 miles to Kilmore Quay that much more difficult. We eventually landed in Kilmore Quay around 5 p.m. We have gotten something to eat and are about to pitch the tent for an early night. The plan for tomorrow is to try to get to Tramore although the weather forecast is predicting a Force 8 wind from the southeast, which could cause us problems. We will just have to wait and see. The plan is to get to Tramore tomorrow evening and then on to Dungarvan at some point on Sunday afternoon. Looking forward to seeing everyone. 8 hours 34 minutes and 36 miles on today.
