Encounter with dolphins on the way to Inishbofin, 26-27 July

 From Roundstone we head North to the island of Inishbofin. As we departed from Roundstone, a herd of dolphins swam up all around us. Unforgettable experience! 

See the video below...

These are bottlenose dolphins, very frequently seen all around Ireland.

The weather changed dramatically over night. Our ride today was cold and cloudy, with banks of fog. The entrance of Inishbofin is very narrow requiring to pass very close to the tower mark.


And as often in this part of Ireland, we pass by ruins.


Finally, we make t to the end of the bay into the inner harbour. 



We are granted permission to moor alongside the "cargo" pier until 11:30 the day after.
