Out and Back in light wind

Frank Pastor

Light wind, SW 5 knts, calm sees and the usual stunning landscape. We sailed off the mooring under genoa and mainsail heading north towards Slieve League. It was slow going and we had to make an effort to keep wind in the sails. 2km out and dolphins came out to play a bit. spotted threatening heavy cloud and showers 20km away and decided to head back. Ciara asked if there was a reason we couldn't sail in the rain. Sara and I said, no but we just don't feel like getting wet today. Two other sailboats and the Bundoran Star were all heading in. Seems like no-one wanted to get wet today.
