The original plan was to use both the Lanesborough Lass (which was in the water at Annaghvaan already) plus the shallow hull rib An Bád Thanaí which Martin towed out to the dive site. However when we got there we found the slip was covered with seaweed bails so were unable to launch the 2nd boat.

Same as last week - The original plan was to use both the Lanesborough Lass (which was in the water at Annaghvaan already) plus the shallow hull rib An Bád Thanaí which Martin towed out to the dive site. However when we got there we found the slip was covered with seaweed bails so were unable to launch the 2nd boat. We were eventually able to launch the boat in time for the third group of divers around three o’clock.

Didn't have the key for the slip so had to drive around and launch at An Sruthán instead. There was no problem launching the boat there, but parking is very limited so not suitable for a bigger group (unless the main body of the group stayed on the Ros A Mhíl side and we drove the boat across). Worth keeping in mind for the future.
