Hi all - greetings from a windswept Castletownbere - unfortunately the weather is once again not in our favour and we won't be on the water at all today. The forecast for today, tomorrow and Sunday is not looking too good - hopefully we can make some ground towards Dursey Sound before Sunday with a view to getting up to the Dingle penninsula on Monday. The forcast for next week looks a lot better and we would hope to make up some of the ground we have lost up to now. It is frustrating to be hanging around (drinking Guiness and eating crabcakes !! Just joking Tony doesn't drink at all and Derek certainly doesn't eat crab cakes his mother 'Terry Organ the Queen of Abbeyside' will vouch for that!!)
Just stocked up on medical supplies in the local chemist - need to get the blisters and sunburn sorted out so it will be like a scene from Casualty for the evening - show me where it hurts Tony!! Derek bought an extra 'Water-bottle' in the chemist for the long crossings.
Nothing for it this evening only to plan as best we can for the break in the weather and see how much progress we can make in the difficult conditions. Thanks for all of the comments - it was great to get to read them this morning, something to put a smile on the face - keep em coming - pass on the link to friends and family.
Darragh - best of luck from Dad to u and the Dungarvan U10 hurling team in the Ballyduff semi-finals tomorrow - call to let us know how you got on as soon as you can.darragh is the captain and hopefully he can lift the cup for the fourth year in a row
