Sailing cruisers in Ireland... the truth is that it's a damp miserable experience.
All trussed up in heavy waterproof gear waiting for the next pounding wave to flood over the decks. It's for this reason that many years ago I adopted the approach that 'if you're not racing then why go sailing'.
However, every year you're guaranteed one cruisy trip that makes it all worthwhile and will become the trip to remember when senility arrives.
This weekend we had that trip.... we hoisted sails out of Kinsale and left them up with out a single tack or gybe all the way to the safe water mark off Malahide some 25hrs and 170nm later. This involved heading East, North and eventually West. Sunshine, no rain and no waves on deck.
It was a great trip that makes it all worthwhile.
