 After a successful rendez-vous with Anna on O'Connell Street, we left Dublin and sailed, south again, to Wicklow. There are lots of murals of boats, including this one, on the harbour wall at Wicklow. The local sailors were a resilient crowd, not deterred from their Wednesday evening cruiser racing by strong wind and heavy rain showers. I was impressed that most sailed off and on to their moorings without motors.
We were inspired to get our cruising chute out again for the sail across to Wales - not forgetting a sleepless anchorage off Wexford the night before.

 After an uneventful sail through Ramsey Sound, we arrived at Solva Quay with just enough water. (It's a drying harbour, but exquisite in the hot summer's evening.)
