Really wrapping up..

After Carnac it was a fairly simple last leg up to Cherbourg with a last minute pit stop in our favourite French shop, Decathlon, to buy a present. Late on Thursday evening we were amongst the 96 passengers to board the ferry for Ireland. It was as one crew member put it 'like a ghost ship'! Overnight we worked our way across the Georges Channel, it wasn't too bad and we had a really nice cabin. The next morning the weather got really wild, thankfully we were headed downwind and not into it.

There were so few people on board that I decided we might get away with asking to visit the bridge. I think the staff were delighted to get something else to do and so we were led down some corridors, through a security door, up a really steep stairs and there we were.

About three hours later The Tuskar hove into view. I haven't been sailing around these parts for a while though the last time I was in this neck of the woods the weather was exactly the same! The flags were hoisted for our arrival into port and about two hours later we were back in Dublin. Journey over. One shot happy, two shots sad..
