Great report. Have often been to Quiberon but never out to the Ille. Think I'll have to go next time!

"Docking into Ringaskiddy was watched very carefully at the rear by the cork pilot(see pic). This is something I have never seen before and it took a few minutes back and forward before she was properly lined up." Have seen the pilot boat like this before. I think the Pilot gets off at the car ramp. Good that Pont is back anyways.

I notice that bookings from Cork to Roscoff and vive versa are not bookable 'til May 24th/25th. Does this imply that the Pont Aven will be out of service until then?

Pont Aven delayed into Cork. At berth about 15.30. About six hours behind. Presume it will leave around around 19.00/19.30.

That was an approximate number gleaned from observing queue at vehicle check in. There may have been more trucks loaded before I got to port.There were possibly a few more cars etc arrive after . Still thought that was a good amount of customers for what is a new ferry route. I did notice foot passengers having to walk from Ringaskiddy village to ferryport. Presume bus does not go into ferryport outside of Saturday.

There were 12+ lorries, 30 + cars and a handful of foot passengers as well on last nights crossing.

Two snaps of Connemara in Ringaskiddy last night.
