This is a bronze of Fungie the bottlenose dolphin which has made Dingle Harbour his home for over 20 years, and is a major tourist attraction. He did come out to greet us as we sailed in and eyed us closely, but decided we were not worth one of his spectacular jumps high out of the water. For once the weather forecast has not been an exaggeration and winds have reached force 9 (severe gale) with more of the same today. However showers have been infrequent and it is mostly sunny. Winds are due to moderate greatly overnight but we expect quite a residual swell off the west coast. We enjoyed some live music in a pub last night (uillean pipes, banjo and guitar) and may look in tonight at the pub advertising “mighty sessions nightly”. For anyone thinking of a visit to Cork and Kerry, we recommend Dingle – our most attractive port of call so far.
