Glandore
More basking sharks spotted on the passage to Glandore, always special. The mackerel are getting bigger too! Great sailing along the Irish Coast with the sun still shining. Glandore harbour looked particularly inviting with the large estate houses and rolling green lawns down to the water.

Chatted to a local once we were anchored who came past in his dingy after being out to see the basking sharks. It was great to meet Shaun and after a great chat (he had visited Australia the year before) I offered him a couple of mackerel from the days catch only to learn he ran the local fish smoke house, therefore his own unlimited supply! He invited us up the next day for a tour and look which was fantastic and we also came away with a very generous gift of Union Hall Smoked Goods – delicious!!!
Later in the afternoon we found ourselves a great table at the pub overlooking the river and watched the local small boats race (including our new mate Shaun) and then watched yachts similar size to us cross the finish line in front us after having raced from Kinsale. We made friends with some from the race and ended up at the local yacht club for a BBQ dinner with everyone.
