We drive to Jamestown and then through Albert Lock.

On Lough Tap a boat is grounded. We assume that this was caused by a technical problem with the steering. Another cruiser from the Albert Marina pulls her off.

We cross Lough Boderg and just at the moment when we arrive at Carnadoe Quay a shower with hail starts. After that we enjoy the moving clouds and the evening colours.

We are up early this morning. It is cold although it hasn’t frozen tonight on the boat. Around 8 am arrives Trevor from Galway. He launches his dinghy and has a first drive into the bays and the entrance from Lough Boderg.

Then we tow his tender and start for a slow trip on the Carnadoe Waters. The navigation is winding through reed beds of Carnadoe Lough.
