There was plenty of traffic abput as we exited Dromineer harbour as Lough Derg sailing club were on the water. Light west to southwesterly winds grew quickly to gusty as we close hauled towards Mountshannon. The lake was becoming a little choppy as we turned to head for Garrykennedy and the wind shifted moments later too putting us on a varying close to beam reach. Our plan tonsail into Garrykennedy stone harbour didn't work as the wind was on the bow and several fishing boats were moored as we approached the tight entrance. We motorsailed in with the outboard and mailsail, diacovering that the drop in the level of the lake prevented us from going too far into the harbour. After tying off and putting sails away we headed into Larkins for a snack and beverage
