Leg 5 Passage 2

Nigel Nomad

We set off at 6am to make the best of the tide and sail in daylight as they have a lots of fishing pots with long lines to catch our prop. The tides run fast up the east coast of Ireland so we we had a very fast passage hitting up to 10.5 knots but unfortunately nearly all under engine. We rafted up in Arklow in time for our first pint of Guinness. Tomorrow is very rainy so we plan to spend the day here.
