More photos from our boat trip

It's 5.00am and I can’t sleep so here I am. Only one more sleep and we’ll be winging our way home. Today is Mayo Day and I believe there will be stalls and lots of entertainment in the streets today so that’s where we’ll probably head. The collage shows scenes from our boating trip on Lake Conn in Ireland. We rowed towards the island which you can see in the two photos on the left. Upper right shows two seabirds perched on a rock, and lower right shows on the wonderful cloud formations that we see here. The water was very dark and near the tiny island there were markers drawing attention to hidden rocks. At the speed we were going, we wouldn’t have done much damage even if we had hit one.

It would be a refreshing ride. But why does it look so gloomy? I mean the dark clouds in one area, The good side of it is that there's also a bit of sunshine in part of the sky. As one Mylotter, Steve Marshall @innertalks said: We should look at the positive side of things. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos with us. It seems I also went on a tour of Ireland.

@JudyEv I understand, that's okay. We don't have control over the weather. Thanks for sharing your trip.

I'm glad you've enjoyed my holiday with me. The weather changes very quickly here. The sky can be gloomy one minute and sunny the next.

Looks like rain, too, in those clouds. Did you find it difficult to row? Are you sore now?

@JudyEv — ah, one of those “let’s not make the senior citizens row” boats. I need to find one of those.

@FourWalls We are just pretty sad that this son of ours is so far away. He is a kind and caring person. We haven't seen him for three or four years so he has probably noticed quite a difference in us.

I didn't do any. It didn't really cross my mind although I've done a little bit many years ago. Even Vince didn't to much. We were really spoilt that day - and all the other days.

Did you get extra defined arm muscles from all that rowing?

I didn't because I didn't row! But perhaps our son's arms are a bit more muscular now.

Lovely shots. It's been years since I've been to any kind of lake or rather pond as I call em. Any bodies of water here abouts is small so I don't even try to get to one.

There are a lot of lakes/loughs in the area; some bigger than others.

Hidden rocks are extremely dangerous, but those who sail those waters surely know.

@JudyEv I am glad, they are deep enough not to cause problems to the small boats.

Luckily in our tiny little 'slow boat' they weren't a problem.

I rather like the cloud crowning the last photo. Reminds me of my time in Wales

We've seen a lot of this type of cloud covering the tops of the mountains.
