Day 4 Defeated by the sea...only 10 nautical miles


Luckily when there are 2 people in the group we can blame each other and nobody is to blame. Today started off beautifully with a crossing from Wexford bay to Rosslare harbour. We then cruised around Greenore Point with the tide at our backs. We pulled into a slipway a few miles after and chilled out for a couple of hours so the tide would be with us going around Carnsore Point. However, after rounding the point we soon discovered that a monstrously strong tide was against us and the wind escalated to a force 6 head wind in our face!! After paddling for an hour and a half we made zero ground and decided to hit the beach. Apparently someone made a mistake with the tides...who? No one knows. To be continued....Paddy
