Hi guys

As you might have seen in Ava's real-time updates, I managed to catch COVID either in Cork or on the whisky tour. That cost us 13 days of cruising here in Ireland. I wanted to see so much more of Ireland, but we'll have to come back for a second visit in a few years.

Covid sucked - I don't think I've felt this bad in over a decade. What really saved us was the incredibly kind and helpful people we met (at a safe distance) in Glandore. We spent a little over a week there isolating aboard Athena. Our friend Tim brought us groceries, and when I finally tested negative, he got me a spot on a Dragon during a Wednesday race. I didn't want to catch covid, but if it had to happen, I don't think we could have asked for a better place to isolate. 

I hope you'll have a fantastic weekend! Thank you so much for your support :) Stay safe :)

Sail Life - COVID is not smooth sailing 🤮 Kinsale, Glandore and Baltimore ⛵️

Dang it! We got COVID :( We isolated for a little over a week in Glandore and got an amazingly warm welcome. Thank you to GHYC, Tim, and all the other wonderful people that helped us get through COVID. *** Links *** Sail Life website: https://www.saillifechannel.com/ Sail Life on Patreon: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnPatreon Sail Life on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saillife_/ Sail Life on Facebook: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnFacebook Sail Life on Twitter: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnTwitter

Hi Mads, glad to hear you both enjoyed Glandore/Union Hall, and you recovered from your bout with Covid. If you don't make it to France, you could be doing yourself a favour. The best way to cross Biscay is from Ireland. If you keep to 9 or 10 degrees West, you'll avoid the worst of it. So the general advice is to leave from Dingle, heading due South or even go a bit further West, first. I've only crossed it once, and that's what we did. Mind you, we started in Galway, so it was a bit easier. There aren't many bolt-holes along the French coast (apparently) so it's tricky to "leg" it down the coastline. Leaving from the UK can be the worst option as it'll route you through the nastiest parts of the bay.

When we left, we did it in September (which is not a good time to go). When we got a weather window of Easterly breezes, we took off. One day we were calmly discussing the weather, and what seemed like a few hours later, we were turning South at the Aran Islands - next stop, Coruna!
