Well I had to attend the ISA's consultation meeting in Dromineer this evening but decided it was much too nice to come by car so I left the office at 1430, collected OF and cruised to Dromineer for the meeting. Spending the night on board and then early start for meeting back in Dublin tomorrow morning.

Great pics, OF, especially the last one. 22.15 and the sun has just set! I've noticed myself how much later the sun sets in W Ireland compared to London. Where's Dromineer btw? Looks like a v pleasant cruising area

Thanks for comments mikef and Al, it's a privilage and blessing to escape to such a magical cruising area only 2hrs drive from home on the east coast. I left a client at 1400, looked at the sky and said, heck I know where I'm going for one night, back in the office this later morning.
Dromineer is home to one of Ireland most successful Yacht Clubs - LDYC founded in 1835.

Thanks, OF. I often see signs to Lough Derg when I drive from Dublin to Limerick but I did'nt realise it was comnnected to the Shannon. How far can you get upstream from the Shannon estuary? Is air draft a limiting factor?

But is isn't always so:
See here
Pilgrims have one "Lough Derg Meal" of dry toast or oatcakes and black tea or coffee on each of the three days of the Pilgrimage.
I will no doubt rot in the fires of hell
