Galway Hooker high and dry in Kinvarra at low tide, pic by Matt Care
Ah well, the plan to watch Hooker racing didn’t quite work out. Seeing the harbour at Kinvarra on Thursday at mid tide we didn’t appreciate how it was at low tide – just acres of rock and bladder-wrack. When we caught up with a race programme and everything seemed to start at 4pm we thought “Ah well, there will still be boats coming and going, jilling about in the bay to photograph”. Not a bit of it. Never mind, we saw lots and took plenty of pics, then drove home the scenic route back through Connemara. A lovely day. We now have the perfect excuse to return tomorrow and see if we can get a bit more lucky.
