Thursday evening - 18th - Crosshaven

I have has a great 24 hours;  sailed at ridiculous speeds in the dark, seen a swhale  ( or was I hallucinating again), left Rosslaire....!

The winds got up again this afternoon and I was making slow, uncomfortable progress along the coast. There is no way I would have been able to sleep, so I decided to be sensible and pull into Crosshaven. 

It is beautiful here, a lovely end to the day.........and while having a cuppa, I have decided that I will end the Challenge here.

It has been an unbelievable experience and I have been through some amazing stuff. I am disappointed not to finish but I realise that I have been through so much, that I don't have anything left to prove to myself. It has been the hardest challenge that I have done and have learned a huge amount. 

A couple of people have also dropped out and everyone has had a tough week. My admiration to the guys that have finished - they really are incredible.

Ultimately it was my inability to find a proper sleep pattern  that held me up and led to me making some poor decisions. I will find a solution to that for the future.

So, I am going to relax for the first time in a week and do absolutely nothing tomorrow! 

Here is the view from my bedroom window.
