Seafaring fun spills ashore for party time

WHEN the going gets tough, the tough get going, but when the going gets too easy, there’s nowhere to go, except the bunk or the pub.

It was a bit like that for a while at ACC Bank Cork Week as Crosshaven basked in bouts of sunshine and occasional light winds.

For once, the sailors envied the strollers, hawkers and gawkers as they wandered through the tented village erected for this biennial celebration of seafaring.
