#CoastalNotes - “Even Dermot Cronin, just home from competing in the 2018 Caribbean 600 in stormy conditions more typical of the Fastnet Race, can’t compete with “The Beast from the East”!

Consequently, the weather forecast for tomorrow (Thursday 1 March) has forced Glenua to postpone his presentation in Dublin entitled: “From the Aegean to the Fastnet Race 2017-Trom agus Éadrom”, scheduled for that night.

It will take place a week later, that is, Thursday 8 March, at Poolbeg Yacht & Boat Club, Ringsend at 8pm.

There will be an entry fee of €5 in aid of the RNLI.
