Sailing through the Rising Waters of Cork City

They spent last night tied up on the quay wall in Cork City - no swell and reasonably sheltered. But the rain kept on coming and as we all know there were terrible floods. So as the flood gates were opened at 2am the crew were treated to 8 knots of river flow, causing Jessy to clank around a bit. Regardless of some sleep deprevation they had to make the most of this marvelous day - cos there is big bad weather coming for the weekend. So they slipped their lines at 7am and headed out Cork. The swell isn't too bad and all are well and fit on board - no sea sickness at all - well done gang. They plan to motor sail all day and into the night, eta 2am in Lawrence Cove Marina. Here are a few piccies of the gang while navigating into Cork - it is hard to tell who some of them are!!
