d34 s5 Jul30 Mon Crookhaven-Berehaven 19nm171

Started with no wind so had the engine on.

Motored past Mizzen Head

Halfway across Bantry Bay, the drive plate on our gearbox failed.
We couldn't sail until the wind returned, so we informed the coastguard and offered us a tow in to Castletownbere by the local lifeboat.
