Niclas and Sanna left the marina at 10.30 and set sails and sailed due East out of the Harbour. We sailed for an hour straight out to sea and then returned back and sailed south down the harbour and then under the Harbour bridge towards Barry Island. The wind died down as we passed Milsons point so we took the sails down and motored the last bit. Oliver had been in town for Swedish lessons and saw us from the train on the bridge. We arrived just before the sun went down. For dinner we tried the new Omnia oven and made a chicken dish, it worked very well and was easy to clean up.
The southerly wind blew up towards 25 knots in the night (very unusual) so it got a little windy but the hold was good. Otherwise this anchorage is good for all winds but S or SW…
Sunday morning was sunny, 14c, but we could sit outside in the cockpit for breakfast before we headed back to MHYC. The wind was not very strong but we sailed parts of the return trip. Sanna steered RaRa back into her pen.
Once back at the marina we took the dinghy over to Clontarf to attend a friends birthday party.
