"Lazy sail to Ireland and back"
we sailed to Dublin from Liverpool, Living in Nottingham, I have tried most Ferry crossings, but this was our first trip this way.
we sailed at 0300hrs, might seem a funny time, but we set off from Nottingham about
2200hrs, and had a stop for coffee, to arrive at 0130hrs, we boarded about an hour later, there are mostly trucks and trailers, as soon as we got on board, free food was served, with tea, coffee and juice, we had booked a bunk, which was basic but comfortable.
about 0900hrs it was announced breakfast was being served, which was as B&B style, but as much as you want, we docked about 1000hrs, but all car`s took a further hour to disembark, we drove out of the dock and straight into the Dublin Tunnel and onto the main roads to most of Ireland.
the return journey was at 1500hrs, which I regret, the trip was the same but mostly
in daylight, same food service, but disembarking at midnight, we had not booked a bunk
and found it a bit boring as I could not sleep, I would have preferred to travel back through the night, especially as it was the evening, Brazil got thrashed by Germany.
on the whole it was possibly the sailing we would prefer next time we go, although loading and unloading is slow for car`s, when you do get off both ends you have the roads to your self.
