Anchored by moonlight and CBs

It's still in here despite the white horses outside on the main Lough from the south west.

Anchoring by raft is such a fun and social way to spend a night

Another fine post OF, that's an impressive amount of boats in a raft-up, looks like a fun event. Those Irish folk look like a friendly bunch.

Brilliant, now that certainly gives the Raggie element on here something to beat!

Thanks Andie, As Fr Ted says, they are like the Chinese, a great bunch of lads!

Yes and it blew up a little in the early morning, but not a stir, not a swing, anchors so well deployed nobody even woke up until near enough the middle of the next day! There were about 50 vessels in there in three rafts.
