This lovely scene vies with yesterdays visit to Claudy in County Derry for sheer beauty! The wee boat on the rocks looks lonesome while its colleague appears to be under full sail in the background. Given the stillness of the water it seems unlikely that it will be getting much wind to fill that sail? By the way is that what they would call a "lateen"???

I think STP_1515 next door is Achill Sound before there was a bridge (Streetview) STP_1517 next door the other way is this same boat with someone sitting on it. STP_1518 is also Achill, the Settlement which we have seen before:

The stillness of the water may be deceptive - that boat out there seems to be heeling under a good breeze.
