Lahinch, Clare
They say you shouldn’t meet
your heroes. I feared this for Lahinch.
It’s amazing how imagery can
form an idealized notion of a place. As de Botton posits there is no point
being demoralized because it is simply different. What reinforces any difference
is the strong on-shore wind and the choppy sea. And so we move on. North
Crab Island, Doolin, Clare
A respite in a campsite. It
has been a week since we left last Sunday. Today is our first shower. Glorious
In the last week I surfed 3
days. It is the first day of a new week and again I have not surfed. I have
surfed 3 out of 8 days and 1 of those didn’t really count.
Tomorrow we head for Easkey.
The forecast is for big surf and strong winds, predominantly from the west of
north. Not a good sign but at least we have had a shower.
