Quite a lot of boat work, but also time for some wandering about. Refilled diesel, ran out of gas and had to buy two cylinders at the usual extortionate UK price, bought a 20l water container after discovering the flexi-tank on Avy-J only holds 30 litres, showers and laundry.
Went to the weirdest shop/exhibition ever and got our pictures taken on the Iron Throne, spent a lot of time looking over the wall at the fishing harbour watching the alarming swell in the entrance and saying well, we’re not going out in that.
Not a lot of social distancing going on in Ardglass, and apparently NI is having a wee Covid-19 spike. was still hoping to go down the Irish coast, so phoned Howth and Dunleary. Not only do they not want us, they apparently do not even want British yachts in their inshore waters in case we infect their lifeboat crews!
Nearly went to Holyhead on the 6th, but decided to wait and go straight to the Scillies (with a possible pull-in at Milford Haven) when the Northerlies set in on Friday.
