Somewhat disappointed, in a perverse way, that I was only treated to a single gannet regurgitation throughout the whole journey, but spectacularly right in front of me. Did see a few looking green that needed to come up for air, but not sure how they managed because the usually open decks were closed due to the bad weather. Probably best not to dwell too much on that thought 🤔.
In the end, the sea was only moderately rough on the Welsh side, and now coming into Dublin is much calmer. IP conference awaits now in #Dublin for 3 days, then down to #Kerry.
Many years ago, my wife and I took a trip to southwest Ireland, and it rained every day, all day.
It remains one of the best holidays we've ever had: we were camping in a car-sized van and every day took the same direction - a morning of sightseeing and getting drenched, into the pub at lunchtime and spending the afternoon drinking Guinness, eating mussels and reading by the fire. Absolutely brilliant.
I hear there's some nice scenery there, but can't speak from experience!
