September Cruise is always a great time. Once all the fanfare of the regatta is over we get to look forward to the September Cruise. Although to be honest I'm like a little child waiting for Santa to arrive and I'm thinking about it for a few weeks beforehand as it really is one of the highlights of our calendar and next year I think that we need to make a conscious decision to book out the three boats and go and see how the other half live with their big boats and cruising around the magnificent scenery that is West Cork. This year was no different than the last few in terms of the numbers that traveled and we had one or two that fell at the final hurdle but all in all, we had 14 cruisers for the weekend. This year we also made a conscious decision not to travel too far away from Baltimore and keep our options open for where we were going to be staying the nights. Friday night we all traveled down and a first for me in my new role i was able to take the Friday off and it was great not be rushing around looking for things at the last minute. This is highly recommended When we arrived at Baltimore Con Minihan was there to meet us and go through the handover of these boats. They really are big at 42ft long but they are also in great nick for boats that are chartered out on a regular basis.
