Sailing the Gannetsway

We have settled back in West Clare, with the opportunity to deepen the family and community dimensions of our lives. Will the 'Anna M' sail the Gannetsway again? Will the electric drive be a success? Will we manage to ‘turn the Covid corner’, determinedly unvaccinated, in our late 70s, and manage to enjoy another burst of life, even while we await the summons, to the Great Beyond, that beckons even as I watch the setting sun beyond Mount Brandon? And what will we be leaving behind us?
