We set off early hoping to round Lambay Island with a promising forecast of North West Force 3-4.

The party was in full swing when we passed "Cuauhtemoc" anchored in Dublin Bay, waiting to berth in Dublin Port for the week.
The Cuauhtemoc is a Sail Training vessel of the Mexican Navy, named for the last Aztec Emperor Cuauhtemoc who was captured and executed in 1525.

Unfortunately the wind had died by the time we approached Irelands Eye so we turned for home and a gentle sail back to Dun Laoghaire Irelands Eye

Looking south to the Baily and on to the Wicklow coast...
