A Whale Of A Time

On this edition - you may get angry about this story: In the midst of a medical evacuation from an offshore island a speedboat attempted to block a lifeboat from landing a patient to be transported to hospital. It happened this week at Rosmoney Pier near Westport in Clew Bay.
A nicer story comes from the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group, about the best-known whale in Irish waters. We’ll also hear about a shocking fish caught by a Kilmore Quay trawler and, despite many cancellations of the sport due to Covid 19, how sailing is thriving amongst young people.
