Nice short hol from Arklow to Dún Laoghaire

Champagne sailing from Isles of Scilly to Arklow Ireland

a short hop from Hugh Town to New Grimsby, beautiful weather!

Sailed from St Michael’s Mount back to Isles of Scilly to Hugh Town - what a day! Dolphins joined us on the bow 🐬, then a stroll on St Mary’s, ice‑cream 🍦, sunset 🌅, a few pints 🍺 and great company. Classic summer vibes. We even caught the famous Women’s Gig Race from St Agnes to Hugh Town. Life on Lagertha as a sailing couple is pure adventure.😊

We just escaped from the Isles of Scilly to Penzance because a gale was forecast - no wind at all, so we had to motor the whole passage with no sails up. Hope we can head back soon, but for now we’re just cruising the coast. Some holiday in Cornwall then. 😊

We just finished a 36‑hour cruise from Arklow to St Martin Isle of Scilly. Fog hugged us at the start but cleared up soon, and we kept the sea calm for our first overnight sail aboard Lagertha. With little wind we motor‑sailed most of the way to hit our 5 kt target – still a great adventure. Happy to be on such a beautiful spot now 😊

Another day, another beautiful stretch of Irish coastline! We had a lovely, easy sail today – a short hop from Dún Laoghaire down to Arklow. Sometimes the best sails aren’t about battling the elements. Just a gentle breeze and a chance to soak up the views from aboard Lagertha. 😊 We’re really enjoying exploring the Irish coast – it’s absolutely stunning!

We made it across the Irish Sea from Port Erin on the Isle of Man to Dún Laoghaire in Ireland. Not a huge amount of wind to play with, so it was a bit of a motor sail ⛵️Honestly, sometimes a little engine assistance is very welcome! The best bit? Having a pod of dolphins lead the way - always a magical moment. ✨ It took us nearly 13 hours, but we arrived just in time for a well-deserved Guinness! 🍻 Life aboard Lagertha is good, even when it involves a long passage. We're definitely feeling the Vitamin Sea vibes now!😊 We stay here until storm Floris clears 🌊🌪️☔️

A short hop from Peel to Port Erin to escape the tidal gate

Lagertha is coming home. Anew standing rigging and a new staysail furler 🙌🏻 The second leg of our trip crossing the Irish Sea heading towards the Isle of Man, good planing getting there! 🌊 Up to Holyhead motor sailing, the tides pushed is with a whooping 10 knot until we left the TSS. But once we left the TSS, the engine went off the wind picked up nicely at 70-80 degrees and maybe 15 knots or so?⛵️ Without the engine running its much more enjoyable. Cruising up with full sails out giving us a solid average of six knots towards Chicken Rock Lighthouse and the drinking dragon 🐉 at the southern tip of the IOM. When we turned northward, the wind just wasn’t strong enough for downwind sailing. So, we motored the last bit on the west coast to Peel Habour instead and waited until 1 o’clock in the morning when the lock/flap-gate opened, so we could go into the marina.
