Ode to the kindness of strangers
So we´re set to go, thanks to a lovely bunch of people. We met two gentlemen in Port Ellen, Scotland, and met again in Glenarm, Northern Ireland, where we also had the pleasure of meeting their lovely wives. Our sail had just torn, making our budget a bit strained and they offered us a mooring in Strangford lough. A lovely offer we took up on and as if that wasn´t enough, the one couple´s been kind enough to drive us around to a sail maker and a chandlery in the area and the other couple invited us to their home for dinner (and laundry). Thank god for the kindness of strangers! Strangers that become friends we hope to meet again.

Uel and I went for a walk this morning as the sun was shining and autumn is beginning to show on the leaves. We stopped in Ardglass to see if you were still there but both boats had gone. You will probably be in Dublin now. If you are in Howth there is a lovely cliff walk and you get a wonderful view of Dublin and Dublin bay. Also a couple of great fish shops down on the quays. Dublin is worth going into and doing the open top bus tour for a quick tour. You must get off at the Guiness factory and go to the top floor for a free pint of the dark liquid. They seve it to elderly patients in hospital as it is good for them !! Hope all is going well and no more equipment failure. Liz and Uel
ReplyDeleteHej på er!
ReplyDeleteVi har nu nått Camaret, men Biscaya verkar inte visa sig från sin snälla sida de närmsta dagarna... :( Vi funderar också på att jobba oss in i bukten lite och ta ett kortare hopp, alternativt hyra en lastbil... Vi spanar in eran spot för att se när ni hinner ikapp oss.
Ses snart?!
La Coruna är rätt onödigt om man itne lider kut behov av båtsaker som man kanske ändå inte hittar. Men det finns diesel.
ReplyDeleteCorme: gratis ankring precis vid trevlig by där man kan handla all mat man behöver.
Finisterre: stranden norr om, är fin. Mataffärer i lilla staden.
Gratis ankring även utanför marinan i Bayona som är en lite större stad med bra affärer. Där finns också diesel på brygga och en bra marina om man vill duscha och tanka vatten.
