Carlingford Lough was our destination, but we had to wait for a weather window so we did a few tasks aboard before setting off. It was a cold run so we rewarded ourselves with an excellent curry in the Sitar Curry house.

A marina with a first rate curry house and a 100 year old boat made from cement - how cool is that?

in Edison sir there's a boat which is

drifted onto the rocks during the night

it must have broke its marring this is

an old ship over a hundred years old and

it's feral concrete actually little

cement days plans have gone out the

window

so it's time for some splicing

[Music]

okay so what I've done here is I've got

the whipping gear and then just taped

this thimble in and then what I've got

here's my three splices I've got one on

top this one underneath and another one

just over there one of the tools you'll

need to do any splicing at all is a

hollow fit only and then once this one

twisted

Earl is this one I'm gonna go in there

horseshit underneath

[Music]

a it's the first one the first splice is

always the hardest but then it's not too

bad because this is going to go over

that and under this so I guessed pull it

up

[Music]

I'm gonna do now is I'm just going to

cut off the ends and then I'm going to

use my lighter too because this is a

plastic it will actually stop the rope

from fraying okay and then the last

little job is just to get rid of these

little bits of tape that I only used to

okey-dokey

so we've now got the shackle and all

this is so that we can add it to our

spare anchor it's this is our spell

anchor in our sail Locker it's a done

fourth type but this road will go

through that at the end oh not the thing

you expect to wake up to in the morning

I don't know if it's quite visible but

the distance there there's a boat Rich's

drifted onto the rocks during the night

it must have broke it's mirroring the

people at the back of it seemed to be

RNLI people and that they are a nice

station so I guess they walked to this

particular one this is off track over

the last two nights

wonderful granny knot now this

particular part of the granny knot was

where we I decided that we needed a

little bit more chain out so that's

what's caused that but as you can see

there is an arc and that's because and

we basically it makes an arc as you

swing on your moorings no matter whether

it's blown through and as you can see

there is a big flare come I'd blowing

away from this blue sky behind it so

hopefully um this will stay with us a

little good weather tomorrow so let us

continue our adventures but that must be

at least five or six miles long that

lack of flight theory

[Music]

the car engine car Barry this is coming

into Carling car ferry is going to go

over there

this is Carlingford marina it's a small

marina on the south side of Cardigan

bird then opponents built on the silt so

the walls of returns you just sink and

have to be replaced on a very regular

basis but the greatest feature about it

really has to be this this is an old

ship over a hundred years old and it's

ferro concrete like chillingly it's mint

which explains why that's a concrete

floor and if you look closely it has

concrete stanchions

and me and bit is made of steel

reinforced concrete

um it's quite okay to walk in this

because it's the way down to the

pontoons so then where are we now we're

in the marina bar at you're not seeing

very well here we're in the Indian

restaurant at the marina it's very nice

it's early in the week yet so the place

is pretty empty but this is the view

northern islands down below

snow really presents food Pregnant's

this is what we've been very happy yeah
