Goodbye beautiful Ireland

8/23

Atlantic Crossing Crew signs off

We are preparing to leave Cork this morning for an anchorage a bit closer to the mouth of the bay entrance in preparation for an overnight jump to the Isles of Scilly.  Low pressure systems currently surround us so anticipate we may be waiting for a bit.

The last few days have been busy. Jerry, our friend we met in Baltimore, took us on a grand tour of Cork. Including a very odd museum on the Cork College campus (the best part was the comment board at the end) and an opportunity to play the bells in an old Episcopal church. A rocking "When the Saints Go Marching In"..I think....and helped us get our American propane tank filled. No easy order. We saw Ed off yesterday morning and did last minute shopping in the English Market and provisioning.

8/25
A small window is available this morning so we are off for the Scillies. A quick 24 hr jump and we will be in Great Britain .....but my heart will still be in Ireland.
