Round Ireland Challenge now past Arklow 20.30 Tuesday

A misty and wet start to the day,
Boat sailed an average of over ten knots between Carlingford Lough and a little while after Dublin Bay. Off Arklow wind now on the nose. The crew, and the weather forecast are hopeful of a nice westerly wind tomorrow.

If so, they reckon they could possibly do Tuskar to Kinsale in about eighteen hours.
Skipper Ben Fusco estimates the boat will arrive in Kinsale at 22.00 on Wednesday
Everyone is still in good health and good spirits, and I'm told they're all eating well.


We will keep you posted on arrival time
