I was over the Irish Sea on that afternoon routing between Waterford and Strumble over Slany. The wind was quite a strong easterly, I was IMC over the channel mostly because i remember one of the passengers saying that they never saw the sea.

The cloud was very VERY rough on that day. Sunday was the 26th time in 2005 that i've done that leg and I usually average at least that every year. And that was the roughest crossing i've had.

storm scope was picking up frequent CB activity over Strumble and showers that I went into at FL110 were very rough. Had to slow the airplane right up on 2 occaisions to stop the pax getting v. uncomfortable.
