Wayhay - we've finally made it onto the south coast!!!!!!

Got round Carnsore Point with the tide, after 5am start, but too windy to continue, so sat in sun reading for the rest of the morning.  When wind had finally dropped sufficiently, the tide was against us for the rest of the day, which gave a few "interesting" moments.  Ended at Kilmore Quay fairly knackered, but pretty happy, especially as we found a good chippie "The Saltee Chipper".  Surprise, surprise, another fine day followed, and we headed to Fethard via the Keeragh Islands.  A leisurely lunch regaled with tales by Tommy Roach, an old local fisherman, then on to Churchtown, just north of Hook Head.
Cleared that this morning with a favourable tide, but the wind has built during the day,and we are once again off the water, and camping at Portally, near Dunmore East courtesy of Bridget and John.
Forceast for tomorrow has improved from earlier, so we may even manage four paddling days in a row!

  1. Steady on - days, when are you going to get all your reading done!
    I hope you can push on and get into a better rhythm. The forecast is still not being kind though.
    Look forward to seeing you next week where ever you are. Have a think about anything you want bringing out to replenish your supplies - reading mater I would guess being near the top of the list.
