Aleria 's repair work is complete but she is still in Kilrush on the Shannon. We plan to bring her up to Clew Bay in April and sail the coast of Ireland and possibly Scotland this summer. We will be joining the Mayo Sailing Club cruises and plan to be in Galway for the VOR finale in July. Please let us know if you are planning to come out our way.

Hi Daria,
Yes, the family is great and most generous. We had the fortune to join a family party at the family home/compound which we greatly appreciated.
And yes, the yard offices and shops should/could be turned into a maritime museum--- or an art museum---or a craft museum.
Their area is a special part of the world as well.
My best, Dick
