( Overview
/ Two Bullocks on a Boat in Eire
Pontoon opposite Crosshaven. A review; Crosshaven is great for a stop off with nice staff, but the showers are basic (we didn’t use them), and it’s expensive at 36€. We preferred George’s East Ferry Marina for its beauty (10€), and James’ Cork Harbour (25€) for its ease of travelling into Cork.
The coastline along the 18 nautical miles from Crosshaven to Kinsale is beautiful.
Another cruise liner, which looks bigger than the town, in Cobh.
Lobster Pot lookout.
Reconciling chart navigation and what you see, is often difficult. Sometimes it seems you’re heading directly for a headland or rocks visually, but trusting the charts, and adhering to a course, you have plenty of room.
From a distance, coming along the coast, the rocks at Oyster Haven look as though they jut out a long way, but in fact they are either side of the sea inlet. Little Sovereign (rock) is on the right, Big Sovereign on the left.
Looking down into Oyster Haven as it begins to open up.
Big Sovereign.
A dinghy race in the distance. Sadly without a fully functioning anchor we decided to leave exploring Oyster Haven for another time.
Rounding Easter Point entering Kinsale Harbour, with Hangman’s Point in the distance.
We rarely see any other boats apart from fishing vessels.
Lower Cove.
We have booked Avalon to be lifted and stored here at Kinsale Boatyard over the winter.
As we motored into Kinsale Harbour, we started to see sailing boats, dinghies and paddle boarders.
