Finally got away from the carpark/campsite at Coolmain, which has been Pete's sick bay for three days.  He's had a particularly unpleasant stomach bug, but is now on the mend.  


We visited Cortmacsherry Harbour RNLI station and picked up some local info on the next portion of the coast, and were given a guided tour round their Trent Class lifeboat.  Many thanks to Sean, the Coxwain, and Stuart, the mechanic for their time and advice.  


On this leg round Seven Heads, we were joined by Nick and Kath, and a reasonably smooth sea and light winds made for a brilliant afternoon of 25km.  We are now at Ring Point in Clonakilty Bay, where we will leave Nick & Kath in the morning, heading for Galley Head and the bottom left hand corner.


Sadly, Claire will be leaving us.  She has injured herself and moving the boats on land each day is aggravating her problem.  It will be a really different trip without her, and we will have to be a bit more conservative in our objectives.
