28th - 31st August. Derryvunny again, then back to Carrick.
On our return down Lough Key to Derryvunny, we were again impressed with the remoteness of this jetty.
The evening view across Lough Key from Derryvunny is wonderful.
Next morning, however, the wind was getting up, so an early start seemed a good idea. The wind can increase very quickly on Lough Key, and The Puzzler was not built for high wind on open water. We sailed on to Clarendon Lock, to await the lockkeeper's arrival.
Further on, at Knockvicar, this strange vessel came past us, looking like an insect on the water! His floats are designed to help him when he is putting out new markers.
To get through Knockvicar Bridge he had to fold his floats up very high.
The next boat past was an extremely fast hire boat, which had obviously not realised what damage his wash can do to moored boats.
This time we were not the only boat to stick out past the end of the finger jetties in Carrick-on-Shannon.
