Wednesday 9 May 2012

now 20km north of Wexford.  Had a cracking day yesterday 38km, mostly with the tide.  Forecast is not promising today, with strong winds this afternoon, and fairly strong tides against us this morning. Gale forecast for tonight.  We have a run of about 20km of surf/dumping beach backed by dunes before Wexford so we look like staying put here.
Wendy and Claire sampled wonderful hospitality whilst topping up with water near The European Club (golf) near Mizen Head.  Went for water, but had tea and home baked cheesecake as well.
Wendy's NEW waterproof camera has packed up - so much for the Olympus TOUGH!

    I hope the weather improves in the Sunny southeast, We might meet up later in the week for a few photos and maybe even a short paddle depending on where you camp in west Waterford.
    Dave.

      Hi,
      sorry we've not been back to you - ran out of battery for laptop!
      Look forward to meeting up - if we ever get that far!

    Enjoy Thursday off too - looking real blowy. Monday might prove a rest day as well. Best park up near a pub for more Irish hospitality.

    I can only hope you have better weather there than we do today! Still, gives you time to plan for the birthday celebrations...

    Happy birthday Wendy. We hope your enforced rest day was worth it and you had a nice treat this morning - tea in bed at the very least.

    Happy birthday Mum!!!! Hope you had a fun day paddling....lovely day here - but nowhere near the sea or Ireland so guess that doesn't help!
