Doolin Ferries in the wind. Bargains in Ferry price war

June 17th, 2009

This season is proving quite windy in Doolin. we are getting reports of ferries to the Aran Islands being cancelled due to wind and sea swell. If travelling from Doolin make sure you check the weather forecasts and pick a bigger ferry for comfort.
Rossaveal ferries are larger and are rarely cancelled.
For value , Doolin is still best. 4 offices fighting for business means that you can and should haggle.

Refuse the first price offered and you will save.  Just say that you going to shop around and you will be offered a better price. Don’t stop at an office on the way to the pier as you will pay top price.

Enjoy the bargains and the Islands

The Volvo race is just so exciting. Green Dragon having been in 2nd is now back in 1st place. As the action heats up Green Dragon has pulled ahead of Telefonica Black yet again. Only 1 mile in it but it seems that the boats and crew are so finely tuned that the difference can be measured in miles.
