The right way to go wrong way round world

A man who has sailed the wrong way round the world to avoid pirates will get a hero’s welcome when he sails in to his home town this weekend.

A flotilla from Crosshaven in Co Cork is expected to sail out to greet Ian Heffernan as he arrives at Cork Harbour on Saturday.

Ian and his girlfriend, Laani Pegler, are completing the last few miles of their epic voyage aboard Kadoona, an Ebbtide 36 yacht.
