Off to Ireland, but maybe not today


"Sedna" and "Babette", with Canadian short-wave weather-guide, Herb's, help, will be heading for Kinsale, near Cork, in Ireland.
But maybe not today. We've been studying the weather maps. A lot of wind against us. Or no wind. If we start today.

We're looking at Wednesday late, or Thursday, now. And we've sent Herb a mail. Hoping for some advice from Toronto.

We'll be sailing with "Sedna" and plan to stay within vhf range. Should we wander out of range we can get their position over the short wave radio. We listen in to "Sedna", "Herb"and the "Norwegian net" on our ssb radio receiver.
