All the way to Crook Haven

Thursday June 30/16. 0800.

It’s getting better and extra 2 ½ hours! Tea and underway at 0930  with the new crew for the awfully long sail to Sherkin Island. It took us all of  ½ hour to arrive and pick up a mooring. Moorings seem to range from free to 6 or 10 Euro. We prefer the free!. Anyhow we got moored jumped into the dink(short form for dinghy) made it to shore damp day walked up to the hotel had a pint and coffee payed the 10Euro fee went for a walk. Castle all boarded up so off to the advertised Friary(place for Friars not chipper) It was all barred and closed. Bummer. Walked the other way saw some cows! Walked back went to the advertised Jolly Rodger. Had lunch expensive and not good! New owners will not survive. Back to boat. Outboard and dinghy stored on deck.

Fri. July 1 2016 HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA OUR HOME AND NATIVE LAND!

0700 I’m up doing the usual. Wake the crew with some difficulty! And we get underway at 0900 for Schull. I know what it looks to sound like but it’s not school it’s Skull as pointed out to me as Bob from Tara sailed by tapping his head and shouting Skull! So after a short 10 mile run under power we arrived and took a mooring between Tara and Walix. We went walk about and then had Birthday party on Kalinka1 with Crown Royal. It went well and I still have some left!

Sat. July 2/2016 00900 Tara away we had Tea. An easy morning as Sally not well. Then underway at 1315 for Crookhaven. Motorboat trip and we arrived at 1515 took a mooring and made ourselves comfortable watching lazer races and boats going upsidedown a fun day. We then went ashore in the evening for a walk and a pint after Jeanmark and Beatrix arrived. A Good day.
