July 5th, Day 21. 3 weeks in. It’s been a total adventure so far. Made it down to Cork/Kinsale area now, when I first moved to Ireland I lived in a town near Cork so I’m really enjoying being down this way again. Paddled from Ballycotten to Fountainstown, wind was good at first then picked up and I had wind and tide against me at the end. Wind in my face again, it has to change at some point. Went for a lovely walk down the street to the public bathroom and to refill water and all the houses had the family names written in beautiful tile on the outside wall going down the street, and it was so quiet. Lots of dogs running and just tearing up and down the beach, playing with eachother. Oh to be a dog free to run full speed across the wet sand and leap into the water. Rain started but I’m cozy in my tent.
