Plans

We will be back on board on Sunday. Dividing up the route north back to Ardglass and then over to the Isle of Man and Holyhead into 30 nm stages might look a little like this

New Ross Kilmore Quay 33 
Kilmore Quay Rosslare 20
Rosslare Arklow 33
Arklow Greystone 25
Greystone Skerries 28
Skerries Carlingford Lough 29
Carlingford Lough Ardglass 25
Ardglass Peel 32
Peel Port St Mary 15
Port St Mary Holyhead 46

If the weather isn't kind to us we can cut across from Dublin to Holyhead - it's only a little farther than from the Isle of Man.

There are several more places to stop - Wexford, Wicklow, Dun Laoghaire, Dublin, Howth and Drogheda all look sensible. 30 nm is a very comfortable day sail with some time ashore. We can do more, especially on calm days. We also might want some days ashore - maybe Glendalough although that might mean hiring a car.
