Kayaking for Cancer  banner
Round Ireland with a Kayak
Dublin's in sight!
Evening, Thursday 5th August
Simon Osborne

Simon's staying in Howth overnight, right on Dublin's doorstep.

He's had a couple of awkward days weather-wise. However, next stop Dublin, 1.00pm, tomorrow!

Find out how the last crossing went.

Listen to Simon's thoughts on this last stage (05/08/04).

Listen to Simon's latest audio postcard (05/08/04)

I am all set for the finish tomorrow under the bridge at 1.00pm.

The forecast is looking ok for the crossing back so I am getting my head around doing it again. It is difficult to know what to expect from the finish but I am looking forward to a good rest.

I will have to set off at first light on Saturday to make it back before the wind is set to pick up.


From Simon
