Saturday Kinsale
A windy morning from the
West so we are staying put. Shifted anchor slightly at 6am as in the
wind over tide situation we were circling around rather too close to a yacht on
a mooring which was circling in a different pattern.
It occurs to me that looking at the google map with
the blog there are those who might have come to the conclusion that we put
Moonbeam on a lorry in Howth and travelled overland to Cork! Not true. In future
we will try and remember to upload positions at the corners!
Kinsale is a fun and quirky place with interesting
streets and all centred on the harbour.
 We did come upon a road sign that we have not seen
in Scotland and wondered what it meant so answers on an e mail
please!
 One possibility is "Pizza oven ahead" or another
"beware man clearing elephant dung" which as we did not see any of the latter
may well be true.
Research took place at breakfast to compare
Clonikilty black pudding (reputed to be Ireland's finest) with our own Stornaway
black pudding. The Irish version is very acceptable but not quite up to Scottish
standards.
