Finally, we cast off and leave Crosshaven towards Glandore. The scenery is stunning as we sail westwards passing Daunt Rock and Galley Head. It's still quite blustery and on the final approach to Glandore, the mainsail rips. Fortunately, it's near the foot so we reef down and carry on.After 9 hours sailing, we pick our way through the tricky approaches, leaving 'Eve' to port and 'The Dangers' to starboard. It's very shallow in places and the anchorage at Union Pier is quite crowded but we find a suitable spot to drop the hook. Afternoon tea is taken somewhat later than usual - at 1830 - on account of the earlier bumpy passage. Out come the fishing lines and the catch of the day is 1 mackerel and several small crabs which are returned to the water.
Dinner tonight is chorizo with butter beans and a little rice. This is very quick to do - about 20 minutes.
