The Goodbyes

Nana and Grandad come to visit Régal and help out with some last minute jobs. When Ronan and Ruby arrived back from their PCR test we say goodbye.
The Meades arrive at lunchtime with a picnic lunch for everyone. We are sorry later that we didn’t keep the leftovers - those sandwiches would have made a great night watch snack. More goodbyes after lunch and 3 Meade diehards stay on and wait for nearly an hour until we leave. Gavin Deane and Pat Farnan come to see us off and Gavin brings hats for all the crew. They help us slip our lines and leave the marina in Crosshaven. Joan, Tom and Fionn give vigorous and enthusiastic waves from the shore until we lose sight of them.
Liam and Mags come out from their house to wave us off. Bridie and Kevin wave bye bye with their giant Munster flag.Read more
