Dingle - and the first rain of the trip


Last night (Friday) the first rain of our trip arrived, together with a fair amount of wind overnight. However. we'd managed to make the best of the sunshine during the day; Steve completed an expert fix to a leak on the dinghy.

Dianne and Barbara visited the local farmers market and brought back a feast of Irish cheese, pate, smoked mackerel dip and soda bread for supper.


This morning, Steve and Barbara caught the bus to Tralee and we're just contemplating heading southwards again. The weather forecast suggests a reasonable day today, heavy rain tomorrow and, unfortunately, a return to fairly fresh south-easterly winds on Thursday. This is not so good - Thursday was our planned day for crossing back to Cornwall and a south-easterly would mean a beat all the way. Might have to revise the timings!

Finally, this is Fungi the Dolphin:
