Odds…

1. Dressed for the evening Con in dirty weather – a Guy Cotten TPS dry suit – great gear for the pearshaped.
2. Burgee swap – Mike MacCarthy, Admiral of the Royal Cork YC.  We raised about 450 euros for the RNLIRoyal National Lifeboat Institution (UK & Ireland). Run mostly by volunteers, heroes all. – thanks everyone.
3. Alan Barton rendezvous in Mounts Bay, just south of Tater DuCornwall's most recently built lighthouse (completed in 1965). He still had 140 miles to go to Cork, into the gale warning
