We left Kilcummin Roads at 7am and sailed for Arranmore Island. The weather was really good for a change with lighter winds than we have had for some time. So we managed to get all our sails up fully for what promised to be a great sailing day.
As it turned out we managed to do the whole trip on a single tack, only changing the tack to bring the sails down to enter what is a tricky approach to the bay and Visitor’s Moorings. We arrived in the very pretty bay at 4.30pm, having travelled 58 miles, really quick passage with a Beam Reach for most of the day pushing us along at between 6 to 8 knots very consistently.
