Despite SW winds and long beats most of the way, a lovely day sail from Isle of Man to Ireland with everything from blue seas to dolphins. Reached Dublin in the early morning, and after a much deserved rest, captain and crew setting about the business of addressing boat systems, protocols, and provisions after which a good nights rest and route planning for Southern Ireland.
All's well with the crew and boat. Confidence is growing as everyone is becoming more familiar and comfortable with Freebooter. Freebooter is in good condition and doing well as we stretch the rigging once more with balanced sailing speeds of over 7.5 knots.
Dolphins! Say hi to them for me. Did you post your whale tail in the boat? ☺
