The World cruise liner visited Galway this week. Some of us dinghy sailors decided to sail out and have a look at her. The high pressure system giving us our mid twenties and above weather brings little in the way of wind but we gave it a shot anyway. These are a few pics of me sailing in calm waters out to see The World. Photos by John McCole, thanks John.

Galway Sailsports Club and 24th Galway Sea Scouts (Port of Galway) dipped their collective toes into the Cong Galway Race this year.
These are a few pics I took along the way on a very nice Gawlay day with even better company.
