Off to sea in wild winds

The wind picked up this morning as the gang were loading their food and sleeping bags on board. Hugh was in charge of food so wasn't given much chance to organise himself, just as he got to the pontoon Jessy sailed away - nothing personal Hugh, she was being battered by north westerlies and was taking the pontoon north west with her. Niall shouted across the beating rain for him to take cover indoors while they motored around waiting for the gusts to go. Sure enough 10 minutes later the med moored and Hugh gracefully stepped on board. Even Gail got wet today coiling up the hose - a wet Gail is rare occation!! They are off on a 10 day cruise along our lovely coastine, which will be fantastic skills and character building (not that any of our clients need any character building!!). I'll keep you posted on their progress on this blog - todays destination is Crookhaven or Baltimore if their bellies can handle the swell out there. I will post some piccies tomorrow of the gang over the past week - even a little sunshine creeping in to the shots!
