On the return journey, you can take in close-up views of the Little Skellig, home to over 27,000 breeding pairs of gannets – making it the second la

The Skellig Tours boat L'Oursin sailing in to Travara Harbour in West Cork last night.

The fickle nature of the weather and sea decided there would be no biolume on show. Beautiful skies though.

Tonight's 10:30pm Biolume Dolphin explorer trip about to depart. The sea is so still!

On the Sea

It keeps eternal whisperings around,
Desolate shores, and with its mighty swell,
Gluts twice ten thousand Caverns, till the spell
of Hecate leaves them their old shadowy sound.

Often 'tis in such gentle temper found,
That scarcely will the very smallest shell
Be moved for days from where it sometime fell.

When last the winds of Heaven were unbound.
Oh, ye! who have your eyeballs vexed and tired,
Feast them upon the wideness of the Sea;

Oh ye! whose ears are dinned with uproar rude,
Or fed too much with cloying melody---
Sit ye near some old Cavern's Mouth and brood,
Until ye start, as if the sea nymphs quired!

John Keats
