The wind is up, on Lough Derg. And we have a rough cruise across the lake in choppy water. Mar gets a bit upset but we eventually settle into a nice mooring in Dromaneer. The wind dies down and the local sailing club treats us to a demonstration of their skills.

River Shannon Boat trip to Terryglass
A great River Shannon boat trip is the run down river from Portumna to Terryglass. It takes in a little bit of river boating as well as a taste of lake boating as well. A day of River boating can sometimes be a bit cold this early in the season, but that in no way deters us and we cruise the River Shannon to Terryglass on the beautiful Lough Derg. Thanks for watching.
River Shannon Boating to Portumna
Join us on our River Shannon boating trip to Portumna where the swing bridge divides this river section from the rather large Lough Derg.
We pass a few interesting sights along the way. So come along for a pleasant spin down the river. Even the Irish weather gods spare us the worst of an Irish summer!
