Irish Nova Scotia


We went as far north and west as we could get without falling off the edge of Ireland into the sea. That took us to the lighthouse at Fanad Head... west of there is only ocean till you reach the coast of North America.... This part of the world is like Nova Scotia on the north atlantic except in Ireland it is influenced by the gulf stream which gives Ireland a warm but rainy climate, and very mild winters. The beach in the pict was voted 9th best in the world.... they have the sand, they have the waves, they have the beauty, now all they need is sunshine...

  1. You didn't bring a boat? A couple of weeks of rowing and you could have been back in Canada.

    Although Fanad Head points north and Iceland would be a more likely destination.

    Where was Doug?
