Sailing Troon to Dublin

It was a fantastic trip, and had a few lovely days of weather, and no injuries this time around. The scariest moment was going out on the top yard, and undoing the gaskets on the sail, mainly because the rope you stand on was quite high, and so I felt I could quite easy fall.Another superb moment, was Brian who'd brought bagpipes on board, and played them as we sailed into Dublin:-)Dublin was great, I stayed at Ashfield House in a 14 bed dorm for 13 Euros, and met some great people straight away, and ended up cooking and eating with a mixture of Europeans(English, Spanish and French), and then explored Temple Bar. On Monday went to Trinity College, Merton Square, St Stephens Green, The National Gallery, and the Guinness Brewery. There is a more malty version of Guinness available in Dublin called 39, which is very pleasant.The National Gallery had a fantastic exhibition on 'Northern Nocturnes- Nightscapes in the Age of Rembrandt'
