thanks for the info, was thinking of doing a night session which should avoid the boats, I hope

What have I started ???

The car is in the driveway, so I probably won't reveal it's location publicly here!! And the prize is more virtual than physical in nature.

If anyone else wants to guess, we better take it to the Scomber before I get shot for going off topic ... :D

Pretty sure it's on Arranmore, off west Co Donegal.

Hey guys, the webs site dons't just cover the marinas. Go the the home page and check out the Lighthouses, Inlets, Anchorages, Port/Harbours, Ferry Terminals and Bridges. Some cool pics and nice view of marks you wouldn't ordinarilly see.
