Navigator Andrews springs into action as our sat-nav is out of charge. Interesting exit from hotel earlier when Tony decided we are abroad and drive on the wrong side of the road.
The Doc pointed this out in a very high pitched squeal as if he was being nutured without anaesthetic

1st evening

Our first evening passed without incident but not without several pints of the black stuff. Tony's uncle made a surprise visit and we collected 30pounds fron the bar towards the fund. All fed and watered and now off to pick up Chris from Cork. One incident worth a mention was when Bob followed the van through the barrier and was hit on the head by the barrier coming down!! Belfast is a really nice place.

Ferry

Conversation discussing the nearest Halfords in Belfast which is in Madrid street:;
Tony 'first time I was in in Madrid Street in Belfast I was chased by a German Shepard"
Grant "what was he doing there, he was a long way from home"

We're off

Well, we have just set sail from Cairnryan. Belfast here we come and on to Cork tomorrow. Oh yes.

That's us.....we are sailing, we are sailing

Blowout

Well we have started well. In rebellion over something which we don't know, Orbry has had. Tantrun and blown her rear tire off the rim in the van on the way to Perth. Hope she settles down before we hit Ireland.

Sure she will be fine,
