Land Ho! Approaching Dingle Bay in darkness, but the lighthouse at Tearaght Island is beaming out… Earier, before it got dark, we spotted the rocky outcrop Great Skellig, murky on the horizon…

Sailed port tack all day making great time – 189 miles in the last 24 hours – all directed towards Dingle!

As a consequence, we’ll arrive around midnight to 1:00am tonight – and rather than try to navigate our way into Dingle using only an iPad – not something we’re used to – at night, we’ve decided that we’ll throw an anchor down in the adjacent bay – Ventry Harbour, which has a wide open entrance and provides good protection from North Westerly winds (which we’ve got).

We’ll move into Dingle in the morning – where a hammerhead slip awaits us!

All in all a good trip – but it’s a shame its so cold and grey!
