Commentary
(Summary blog only. Last full blog was Day 0368).
Drove and ferried back to Ireland after leaving Chester about 10:30 this morning.
A far faster journey to Anglesey than we had coming the other way so arrived quite early. So decided to make use of the extra time and take a spontaneous stop off at Plas Newydd National Trust for an early lunch and a quick look round the grounds.
Straightforward sail back to Dublin afterwards – very little rolling about despite quite high seas.
Treated ourselves to dinner at “Siam” restaurant in the evening once back in Malahide
