	Sailing in Ireland - Inishbofin to Inishturk
		With the North Westerly blowing top of a five we decided on a short and relatively sheltered hop to Inishturk today, so were on a close reach once we got round the bottom of Inishbofin and had a fantastic sail.
		Inishturk was looking a bit industrial with a big crane and jack-up barge moored inshore putting in piling to extend the jetty.
		We had to wade through mud and drag the dinghy to the water before returning to the boat slightly the worse for wear for a late supper.

		After mingling with the crowd for a short while the President was transported back down the steep hill from whence she came and the attending crowd watched the helicopter rise up over the pier and fly away before all turned gratefully to the community centre for the food and drinks.

	The Connemara Safari: A Walking Tour of Four Rugged Irish Islands - Deirdre Mcquillan
		Standing beside the remains of a Bronze Age site close to the sea cliffs of Inishturk on an early September day, it was hard to imagine a more spectacular place to live.

		It was Henry David Thoreau who maintained that a walk was nothing if not the adventure of a free man. He would certainly have approved of this tour, called the Connemara Safari, which operates weekly from May to the end of September.

		Seen from the Connemara or Mayo coast Inishturk appears rather flat, especially compared to Clare Island to its north.
		This view is deceptive: the high point of the island is over 200m and the hidden western coast is an almost continuous line of cliffs.
