The Good Tall Ship Libertad Docks Today

The news arrived a little late, having popped into our inbox only this morning, but, good to know that Greystones’ two-degrees of separation has found another victim.

This time, it’s the Argentinian tall ship Libertad, paying a visit to Dublin this afternoon.

And eagle-eyed Guide reader Avril has been in touch, to let us know that, well, this ship is as good as ours.

Turns out the Libertad was previously commanded by Argentinian Admiral Marcus Henson, whose beautiful daughter, Steffi, just happens to be married to a Greystones lad, Bevan Murray.

Bevan and Steffi, along with baby Sofia, are based in New York, but they’ll be spending Christmas in Greystones this year, along with the Admiral and his good lady wife, Maria.

Now, all we have to do is work out a family rate down at BJ Marina for that ship.

We reckon €6,324 a day should just about cover it. Plus VAT. Being the season of goodwill, and all that.
