4 Men in a Boat- the final chapter

Just a final posting on the progress of the “rowers”. They have arrived !…….safe and sound, Thursday night, not in Cork as was intended but where the wind, waves and currents took them fastest, which was to Kilmore Quay, nearer to Rosslare, but Ireland anyway ☘️. Apparently the waves were ENORMOUS !    Thank you again...

New Ski Raft on station!

This is taken from the all new, bright and shiny ski raft being towed out to its permanent mooring. Among other things it has solar powered night-time-actuated navigation lights, so don’t use them as coat hooks or they will think it’s night and eat up battery power. If you want to find out more about...
