Life is grand

Oh man. Had a mad weekend in Wales. Brilliant but utterly mad. Lots more photos and stories coming soon, I just need a few days to recover.

I am off to the Sea Fair Haven 2006 in Wales for four days. Won’t have email or net access so this will be the last post for awhile and I won’t be able to handle email (anything important text me on +353 86 896 8944.) I bought a Vango Delta 200 tent and a Vango Ultralight II 900 sleeping bag, I’ll report on how they faired.

So till Tuesday morn’ when I’ll be bringing back a hangover, blistered hands, bruised shins, lots of photos and a big grin. Enjoy the weekend all.

I’ll be in Pembrokeshire, Wales next weekend, 23rd to the 26th of June 2006, for the Sea Fair Haven boat festival. An Seabhac Mara will be there with the rest of the crew. If you are in the area then drop in and say hello.

What a weekend. I am wrecked but happy. Munster winning the Heineken European Rugby Cup on Saturday was brilliant. Jammed into the Three Shippes pub in Waterford along with hundreds of red garbed Munster fans going crazy. This was after being out till 2am the night before as we gave an Irish welcome to Jessica from Canada who will be sailing with us in Genoa. The rough weekend weather made the Saturday sailing great. I took a breather on Saturday night before working on the boat all Sunday with its four-seasons. The water was freezing as we hauled her out and I am thankful for a perfectly placed buoy that saved me from a dunking in the harbour. Then it was off to Fi’s place where we laughed ourselves to death with probably the best Top Gear episode ever shown. Watching Clarkson and co. build and drive amphibious cars was classic. I haven’t laughed that hard in years. All capped off by more drinks at Uluru and then Jason’s place till 1am as we said fairwell to Jessica.

The mad bit is that this coming weekend will be even larger as we head down for the Baltimore Seafood Festival. My liver is booking a ticket to Anywhere Else But There as we speak.

And if you happen to see a dreadlocked Canadian in Dublin airport immigration who responds to the name of Jesus then please give us a call. Poor bugger, welcome to Ireland.
