No where nicer than Cork harbour to test out the new boat.

and the calms waters of East Ferry to check out the throttle cable (ties)

Many happy days onboard.

Cobh.... A Very nice place for a few scoops

Ya certainly lost your way on the way back, cause there was only Colin, Jim, & Robert in the taxi
