An Fear Marbh Through the Storm

On a calm day you can sit on Clogher Beach and see An Fear Marbh lying peacefully on the horizon, its profile supposedly resembling a body laid out in repose. On a day like this, though, you’re lucky to see it at all. The swell was stacking up in layers, each wave tall enough to swallow the base of the island entirely, leaving just the dark ridge floating above a wall of spray and foam. That golden light breaking through the cloud behind it was almost unfairly cinematic, the kind of scene where you fire off a dozen frames and hope at least one captures what your eyes were actually seeing. The Dingle Peninsula has no shortage of dramatic viewpoints, but Clogher looking west towards the Blaskets in rough weather is hard to beat.

Context is very important. Since getting a kayak I am more aware of windspeed, and with more appreciation of what the raw numbers means!

My maximum windspeed limit is about 15km/h. Anymore and I do not launch!

This was the Paignton sea front yesterday - the windspeed was around 30km/h. Definitely way outside my limit, but nice to be able to correlate that to a rough sea 😱
