Leaving Portavadie Marina The sheet piling from the former rig yard (never used!) is corroding badly, as can be seen here. It is currently being replaced (May 2009) and the breakwater raised by half a metre.

Lovely cottage just next to the sea. Hiked up goat fell from the house. Ace pub round the corner. Aran ice-cream must be sampled.
