After a couple of days break for a work trip to London, and servicing our engine, we were ready to move on. Our original plan had been to head up the Irish Sea on the Welsh side - via Fishguard and then on to Anglesey.

We at last had some wind for sailing - but it was from the North. This isn't good for sailing North, and also meant that Fishguard was likely to be exposed. So we changed plans and decided to head across to Ireland.

Mostly beating into the wind, we made for Arklow.
