As I couldn't make the Ireland trip, better half let me loose on the Dee from 7.39-10. Beautiful evening, also planed easily with the 2hp (!!) now I'm 2 stone lighter than in Jan.

Was tempted to shoot the weir, down the Dee, out the estuary and join you all!

Also found Three watering holes above the weir!

Enjoy guys!

What a fantastic crossing, it's red hot here again we all need a pint.
Met Willk Dan and Tonymac just out side Kish bank, the trip up the river Liffey was as I said, well worth the effort.
All in need of a shower, looking forward to a great night with plenty of food And the odd pint of Guinness

The view from our hotel room
