Seekajaktour: Umrundung Irlands im Seekajak 2015

Finally we found a way through the surf zone and landed at the pier of a town which
turned out to be Kilkee. What had happened?: In spite of the crossing seas the tide
had pushed us faster than we thought and not finding any landing we paddled “out of
the map” we had on our Kayak decks. Marty who picked us up from the pier at Kilkee
later on told us that there in fact is no save landing between Kilbaha and Kilkee in
those conditions. I really should have asked at Kilbaha before …
To sum it up – the one lesson learned with all ups and downs
Every cloud has a silver lining
Yes we had a lot of clouds, but for me it still seems incredible and far beyond coincidence:
Whenever things weren´t funny at all we met people who helped us and helped us to go on.
For me this Victorian saying (originally derived from John Milton) turned from a more or less
pathetic worn out pseudo positive wisdom into a mere fact. So once returning to Ireland I will
be looking forward to any cloud, and of course it´s silver linings …
