Ireland - 2006

Following our Tasmanian expedition we decided to make another trip togetherThere are many reasons to paddle around Ireland:Big seasNice tidal races (we prefer to forget this particular one)Amazing coast line...Cliffs,Caves,Arches,Wild lifeThousands of birds in the skies,Dozens of cows on the land.Friendly peopleVery friendly peopleGood foodDelicious fresh fishAnd of course...Guinness!This time we decided to share our experience with two other paddlersGadi Goldfarb, who paddled with us 400 healthy miles...From Dublin...Up to Galway Bay...And Inna Hoichman(Whos just in case Mishas wife)Inna switched with Gadi...And paddled the W and NW coast.We have not found more nuts to join usSo we paddled N and NE coasts just the two of us...Enjoying the solitude.For those who wondering how it worked in Ireland:You get up in the morning and cook your porrigeNot before you spend an hour to repair your stoveThen you get on waterSometimes there is no water thoughThen you paddlePaddle...Paddle...Paddle...Eat...Drink...And more paddle...Meet the fishermen...Amazed by the coast line..Or wondering wheres the coast line?...Till the evening.Have a shower,Pitch the tent,Cook the dinner,(Repair the stove again)And face new challenges in the local pub...Not before exploring the place you landed at.Multiply by 36, and you went around Ireland!So whats next?
