Another lay day in Crosshaven, so we take a short sail over to East Ferry on the opposite side of Cork Harbour to do some exploring.Tonight, we enjoy a drinks party at Salve Marina. What we thought were just going to be 'nibbles' turned out to be almost a full-scale buffet prepared by the owner's daughter. It was hard to resist homemade delights such as smoked salmon on soda bread, delicious cocktail sausages coated in barbeque sauce and bit-sized vol-au-vents. This didn't leave a lot of room for dinner, but we valiantly made our way to a local pub which many had said had a good reputation for fish. We managed to bag a table and ordered the ' turbot' which seemed very reasonably priced. When the plates were served, we were somewhat mystified by the fish on the plate which looked more like a small plaice than a turbot. Nonetheless, whatever had ended up at our table was delicious and the hand-cut potato wedges were a great alternative to deep-fried chips.
