Island hopping

It's been a while since TLC has been out sailing. But on a trip down to Kerry we were staying on Valentia island. It has a beautiful sheltered harbour at Knightstown. There is a little island about 1 mile away. That short journey isn't quite as sheltered. Luckily my daughter was on the Sea camp and she made a new friend whose father was a keen sailor. He was delighted to come and join me on TLC to sail out to the island and back. After tacking about a little under the shelter of the harbour, we headed across to Beaginis. We landed in a small Sandy cove and wandered up to the top of a small hill. This is the first time that I've sailed to somewhere. Up till now it's always been starting somewhere sailing around and returning. Here's a picture of Knightstown from Beaginis.
