Yep.  They spotted it.  Friendly folk.

It's a forge!  How often do you drive past a forge?  Gearhameen, Cork.

Crossing the bridge to the island of Dinish.

Dinish has a nature preserve.


And a fishery.

Looking back over to the mainland.

The trawlers have come in, Dinish.

A car ferry can get you over the Bear Island, Cork.

On the mainland at Castletownbere I found a little B&B.

Island View B&B looks like a good place to stop.
