An account of a circumnavigation of Ireland during August 2009 based on the ship''s log of the passage. The author and her husband set off from Milford Haven in the 38'' Nademia to sail clockwise around Ireland - hoping to find some fine weather somewhere on passage, but instead enduring squally conditions for much of the time during this year''s notoriously disappointing summer. Photographs of the anchorages and harbours visited.
