Sat 25th April, Kilmore Quay to Waterford

We had a really good sail from Kilmore Quay to Dunmore East at the mouth of the river Suir; sunshine and a force 4-5 SW wind. Lots of tacking but we got there before the weather changed for the worse. We picked up a mooring buoy at Dunmore East, a really pretty little fishing village, while waiting for the tide to change for the long motor up river to Waterford. It is very interesting to wind your way 15 miles up a river with lots of bends and only a very narrow deep channel, knowing it is used by quite large ships. No wonder they have a pilot on board.
