12th July - Dun Laughaire to Howth

In the marina we could see the reflections of the boats in the water it was so calm. We set off across the bay in a flat calm, motoring. After we turned the corner, a gentle breeze came up from behind us. We turned off the engine and sailed for a short while, with Dorril on the helm.
I had phoned ahead and we went straight into our berth.
We caught the train back into Dublin and climbed on the tour bus to continue the tour we started yesterday. We got off at Trinity College and went in to see the eighth century Book of Kells, a medieval illuminated bible. Most impressive.
We continued our bus tour. The traffic was particular bad as most of Ireland was heading to the Dublin O2 Centre to attend a Paul Simon concert.
