    May 22nd

    What a wonderful welcome home yesterday. Had a beautiful roast beef dinner with friends in kilrush. Tidied up Waxwing and thanked her for carrying me safely home ❤️⛵️Went to bed and slept for 10 hours, when I woke I automatically went to look at the compass to check our course and realised.. oh ya i am tied up in kilrush marina. 😂 Today I was beautifull, I made it back in time for my granddaughter Emilia’s communion ❤️ It was so lovely to spend the day with my family.

    August 28th day 7

    Today I am one week at sea and it has been great. I was hoping to have the Portuguese trade winds now but it looks like the Azores high is over Ireland. Head winds the last few days but can’t complain, weather is good. The transformation in everything over the week is amazing. Firstly I had a massive work load on for a year before I set sail I had to adjust from that to sailing, even though I was still checking all my work and equipment over all the time ( all systems are pe

    I grew up sailing with my Dad, Mum, brothers and sister. I started sailing in an Optimist dinghy when I was 4 years old. I am now 52 and I have never stopped, sailing is one thing throughout my life that I have always loved.
