J109 Delivery - Day 2 - Fenit to Portmagee

Day 2 of our J109 delivery around Ireland got off to and early start before sunrise in the hope we could make up for the lost time on day 1 due to the sea fog. After getting guided out of Fenit Marina by the fishing boats under darkness we had a great days motor sailing in light westerly breeze down the west coast to Portmagee in County Kerry.

The the wind light and from the wrong direction to get maximum speed we did not cover enough ground in the first 1/2 of the day to safely make the trip to Clear Island in daylight. This lead to an early but very rewarding stop over in the beautiful town of Portmagee. As a massive Star Wars fan it was the ultimate surprise to put pints in a pub a Jedi master frequented. The excitement only build further when we planned the route for Day 3 which would take us past Great Skellig Island which was Lukes home for many years. Portmagee Marina was a fantastic little marina and the Moorings Pub and restaurant was a great place to get a feed prior to the next two legs where the eating options would not be as good.
