Farewell to Bear Island en route to Dingle a long tiresome passage with the north wind on our nose we hoisted the main and let out the Genoa put in a few tacks for several hours before finally motor sailing the rest of the trip "slow boat to China" we needed to get into Dingle bay before dark there were just too many lobster pots in sight it was like sailing over a landmine field if one of these lines got caught in our prop we were in real trouble there's no way of telling how many pots are under one buoy marker there could be 40+ that's a lot of weight if we caught a line unawares and continued forward the sudden impact could rip the shaft through the hull you could sink in seconds.
It was just coming up to dusk when we entered Dingle marine to our surprise Fungy the resident dolphin greeted us he's a huge fish I remember seeing Fungy about 20 years ago, this Dolphin has broken all records with his age he's definitely put Dingle on the map.
