A wet Friday the Thirteenth in Howth

We were up and out fairly early. We bought a new calor gas bottle on the West Pier and two portions of fish chowder. This was all happening whilst our washing was in the laundry. Whilst walking around the harbour we saw four seals around the moored fishing boats.
We stopped in the yacht club for coffee. As the scones had only just come out of the oven we had to sample, with cream & jam.
Once the dryer had finished we returned to Calviere II and heated up our chowder. It was wonderful, washed down with a small glass of chilled Guinness.
After lunch and a snooze we headed out for a stroll around the peninsula in the light rain. Unfortunately, once we got past the point of no return the rain came down much harder. The scenery was spectacular but very damp. Ireland is very green for a good reason.
Dorril and I dried out in a small cafe drinking cappuccino.
