Old friends

We're on the green Dart train into Dublin, with a 12 noon appointment to meet Michael Carville. Last seen at Warrenpoint. Now we're at Chatam House, just off of shopping street, Grafton. We meet both him and Eamon Kenan there. A quick summary of our sailing year and some catching up on minerals and mining. After one year in retirement Ørnulf attempts to change modus to mineral industries. Another world. Then a good lunch at a nearby brasserie. Great to have a chat with Michael and Eamon. Seems like just yesterday, and not a year ago, we last met the Carville’s in Warrenpoint, and wandered about in the Morne Mountains during a restful weekend with Peg and Charlie.


Come evening we're again out eating, now with Eamon only, out at Howth. "The King Cidric" is a fabulous seafood restaurant with a great view of the harbor. While we're enjoying monk fish and prawns and a white wine, Michael is out in the salt spray sailing. He's crew in a Howth Yacht Club regatta. Back at the marina we join up again. And congratulate Michael on his winning boat.
