Sailing in sunshine from Bantry Bay passing Mizen Head and Fastnet to Castletownshend, then Kinsale (lots of herons and two historic forts) then Cork (Crosshaven) where it rained. And rained. Further upriver is Drakes Pool where he anchored his small fleet among hills and woods to escape the pursuing superior Spanish force, who failed to notice the sharp left turn and went away empty handed. Sadly too many moorings there now to anchor reliably.
