So, I have a plan;
Will take the boat across to the wharf -when the winds ease later - to get some fuel from the fishermen or perhaps a car ferry!!
I will then motor sail as fast as I can to the point where I left the original route (6 hours) - then engine off and try again to reach Baltimore under sail.
There is just about enough time to get there if the winds are kind, otherwise I will motor the final part if I have to.
Just need to kill a few hours now.
By the way - I did wash my hair last night. 3 solid day so of wearing a wooly hat was pretty grim! Managed to soak the floor - out of practice - I haven't washed my hair in a bowl since I was a kid!
Here is the view from my bedroom window.

Would it count as cheating if the ferry towed you? After all, your engine wouldn't be running. I hope your plan comes to fruition - maybe the luck of the Irish will rub off on you.
