Scotland and Irelands 3: Dublin bound!

Yen Nguyen

Started before sunrise to catch the favourable tides and get to Dublin in good time for a Guinness. But oh my it was immediately challenging with force 6 and then 7 winds that beat us down and lashed us with wave-loads of water. So I was told - I was barely functional after the first bit to hoist sails and get going. Limited sleep, no food and being complacent with taking tablets took its toll. Thank goodness for the super strong team, though even skipper suffered.
