| Jul 07 '22 | Mulroy Cruise Donegal
launching at Wood Quarter Pier just outside Milford on the western side of the bay. Parking for those of us doing an extended cruise on private ground a couple of miles away. Parking for those who just want a night or two at the launch site. We will be moving from day to day so it is live aboard or camping ashore on Islands where we will have permission. Around 4 days exploring Broad Water and North Water then if weather permits we can make our way out of the Bay and travel further for a week or so.
See eOceanic
Mulroy Bay waters are clear and clean and we will have the opportunity to sample some of the local seafood. There are bays suitable for swimming and snorkeling. Some of the islands can be used for camping, however under certain weather conditions the wooded areas may have a lot of midge activity, insect repellent may be needed.
There is a WhatsApp group set up for the duration of the event, contact John if you wish to be added to it. | John White
