Barry Hurley and Dinah, with crewmate Andy Boyle, arrived home in Cobh at 1400hrs on Sunday 2 August, having sailed from New York via the Azores, to be met by a welcoming flotilla led by two Cork Harbour pilot boats, a Naval Service Rib and boats from Cove Sailing Club.

Dinah was in front of the Quays Bar and Restaurant for a Civic Reception hosted by Cobh Town Council, and then moved to East Ferry Marina for an evening of song and dance and the odd drink. Barry returns to work at O2, the telecoms firm, and Andy to IBM on Tuesday morning.

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven’t put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full–time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

If everyone chipped in, we can enhance our coverage and our future would be more secure. You can help us through a small donation. Thank you.
