After a 16 hour sail we made it to Ireland and are tied up in Arklow. We stayed Sunday night in Dale Bay, just inside Milford Haven and rose at 4am to get as long as possible in daylight to cross the Irish Sea. The winds were force 3 to 4 and rising to force 5, we sailed about half the way and then the wind moved to the North (ahead of us) so we motor-sailed for the remainder of the crossing.
It feels good to have made this 85 mile sail north to get us back onto our rough timeline and to have crossed into another country.
We'll update when we have better wifi and add a few photos.
