Monday: A field trip to Inish Bofin

 You have to be a tough sheep to survive out here. The wind blows strong! There are pink sheep and blue sheep, it just depends on who you belong to.

 This memorial was erected for two 18 year old boys who drowned in 1976 while trying to swim across the inlet. The tide had come up and they swam rather than waiting for the tide to go back out.

 This cave opens out on the other end to the ocean. It is an adventurous climb down to the sea.

 This fort turned prison has a long exciting story and sits at the entrance to the harbor. The fort was built to keep this island from being captured during one of the many long invasions. After it's usefulness as a fort was over it was converted to a prison. This would not have been a pleasant place to do time.

Sheep were everywhere. One member of our group tried without success to pet one. We suggested a petting zoo. The boat on the right took us back to the main land. It was a very windy and exciting ride!
