Aleria's Adventures: June 2015
https://aleriasadventures.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 29, 2015. The meaning of home. Where the mountains come down to the sea along the Wild Atlantic Way. Home is a question Ive been contemplating my entire life. So on this day, my birthday, I will begin to try to answer that question. I published a post recently. About having found home along the wild Atlantic way in Ireland. Today, I want to explore the meaning of home and ask a new question: how did I know it when I found it? Is home the landscape that burns itself into your psyche? Its been...

Aleria's Adventures: The weather in the West of Ireland was filthy, but we couldn’t not sail!
https://aleriasadventures.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-weather-in-west-of-ireland-was.html
Wednesday, July 15, 2015. The weather in the West of Ireland was filthy, but we couldn’t not sail! Is there anything out there but miserable weather? Summer Sailstice, a global celebration of sailing on the longest day of the year. A sliver of blue sky was hopeful. We sailed out of our inlet in Clew Bay at half tide. That’s when we can make it over the shellfish bed that runs across the entrance. We had about a foot of water beneath our keel at the shallowest. Clare Island in the sun. By the time we drop...

https://aleriasadventures.blogspot.com/2015/08/lightning-strikestwice.html
Monday, August 10, 2015. A boat we once owned had the unlikely misfortune of having been struck by lightning twice. She had a dissipator on her mast, her rig was not unusually tall, and she was always moored in a crowded mooring field. Yet, somehow, the lightning liked her best. A study published last year in Science (. Here are a few things we learned from our experience. There was no visible external damage when they later surveyed the boats. The lightning blew right out the bottom of the keel, fortuna...

Aleria's Adventures: August 2015
https://aleriasadventures.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 28, 2015. An annual pilgrimage to Clare Island. Clare Island at the mouth of Clew Bay. Every year, we visit Clare Island primarily because its an easy sail from our anchorage but also because there is so much to see there. The Saw Doctors have immortalized the experienced in their song about the place:. Will you meet me on Clare Island. Summer stars are in the sky. Well get the ferry out from Roonagh. And wave all our cares goodbye. And well go dancing at the ceili. In both the bars.
