Once we turned South towards Holyhead however we were able to hoist our sails for a pleasant sail down into Holyhead. Samarah and Deva rounding Carmel in good conditions Day 2 Weather-bound Although we had arranged to cross over to Dun Laoghaire on this day the weather was not suitable and we spent the day in Holyhead making sure the boats were ready for the forthcoming trip. 31
