Ilen anchored off Mac Mahon castle, Collage Bay, Carrigaholt. The bay is named after O’ Curry College, established 1912 & named in honour of local man - renowned Irish scholar, Eugene O’ Curry. The college was founded by Limerick’s Neilí O’ Brian sister of Conor - Ilen’s designer

Painting by local artist D Hedderman - Schooner at Carrigaholt Quay & Mac Mahon tower house (painted 1970s & hanging at Carmody’s Pub Carrigaholt). I was happy to fulfill a modest desire when I brought Ilen alongside the very same wall last week. Ilen back at Carrigaholt tonight

Ilen at Limerick Dock awaiting her next crew, anchorage tomorrow afternoon at Carrigaholt when her Shannon Estuary water survay (“citizen science” no less, as I have recently been informed) will get completed. The Estuary informs and influences so much of what Limerick was and is
