The outline of our Summer cruise, weather permitting, is now firmed up so I thought I'd get it down in public.
Robinetta is due to be launched at Fairlie on the 18th of April. We then have two weeks aboard. We hope to get around Malin Head to Lough Swilly. We will probably sail down the Scottish coast to Portpatrick and then hop over to Belfast and along the northern Irish coast.
Then it's back to work until the 20th of May when we have three weeks to get to Fenit in Tralee Bay. I'm really looking forward to this but somewhat daunted by the prospect of the Atlantic swell.
After another work break we restart on the 10th of July, although Alison is thinking of staying out there and inviting friends to crew and explore the Shannon Estuary in June. It's all right for some ...
In July we have just two weeks to get around the Dingle and Kerry peninsulas. We were thinking of ending up in Crosshaven, but it looks like we would find ourselves in the middle of Cork Week so we may stop before then.
Our final leg, from the 20th of August, assuming thinks work out, will take us back up the Irish Sea to Holyhead, just in time for the Traditional Boat Festival.
Of course, if the weather intervenes, we might not get round at all. Wherever we end up, I'm sure it will be wonderful.
