I finally got out for my first sail of the year, on my fathers boat.

clippers arrive in Cork City

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

I went out on my friends yacht today to join the clippers on their journey up river from outside Cork Harbour.

We met the clippers a couple of miles off Roches Point and followed them all the way upriver.

The first landmark – Roches Point lighthouse. Clippers Cork and Jamaica passing Roches point:

Some milling around outside Sipke Island followed as the clippers were too early to head upriver.
