Aleria's Jaunt to Scotland: 27 July 2013, Tory Island, Donegal, Ireland
Thunderstorm approaching the coast of Donegal (click photos to enlarge) Tory artists and artifacts aplenty, but no King Leaving Mulroy Bay Someday we'd like to come tour Mulroy Bay by small boat. It's supposed to be the most wild waterway in Ireland. From what we could see, I'd say that's true. But today we were heading off again. It was yet another calm day but thunderstorms were forecast. We hauled our anchor in Mulroy Bay destined for Gola in Donegal, but en route we decided to stop in Tory Island. We are very glad we did. Exiting Mulroy Bay There were squalls and thunderstorms all around us and we kept thinking we’d get caught, but we somehow managed to miss them all except one little one. There was a persistent light rain which welcomed us back to Ireland. We’d had little rain in Scotland for almost an entire month. The clouds made for a beautiful sky and we enjoyed the transit to Tory along the rugged coast of Donegal....
