Halfway - Connemara

August 12, Day 60

Woke up feeling better again, thank goodness. Quite wjndy, blowing a 6 but would be right on my tail once I got going. Tomorrow is going to be winds of 35 knots head wind so no another day off which is fine, I could still use the sleep. Lots of paddlers in Ireland have been following along with this trip so there is no shortage of people to reach out to. Two meter swell was coming from my back left and two meter wind waves from my back right meant they would meet at the middle and fishtail me around as they passed. Bit of a funny feeling when you are only judging what is coming by the sound of the waves crashing behind you coming closer and from what side to expect to turn and brace if needed. Got to the beach and now I’m in Connemara! Beautiful seaweed draped rocks and the sun was out. Donal collected me and off we went to Galway to pick up food from Xian, my favorite Asian street food place. The one is Dublin has seen me there many times. The spice bag is unreal. Got some ramen like soup and ate it at his house with his two housemates there, they also paddle so it’s cool to be around like minded people.
