I have a photo of Foyle Marina but not sure if I can link to it using my phone.

Edit - Haven't managed. I would need to write out the URL longhand, but I'm supposed to be eating my dinner.

Too late to be of any use to C_W now, but I'll post them anyway.
Plenty of room on the pontoons, which were installed to host the Clipper 11-12 Round the World Yacht Race. Plenty of current too, so that you could practise your 'ferry gliding' technique.

This would be your local.

Re: Hummingbird in Ireland
Geoff, in another thread, mentions Loch Swilly Marina.
It seems a great shame that they haven't been able to complete the construction due to an ongoing High Court case.

We were there only last year - and the office was a converted container. The breeze block construction is new since then. Have they dredged the entrance? It was very shallow.

If the breezeblock is new, then maybe things are improving.
I knew something of the death of the Celtic Tiger, and of the bottom dropping out of the housing market, but was still astounded at the number of big, fancy but empty houses throughout the countryside.
I'm afraid that we were there in the car and the P&O Troon / Larne fast cat so can't comment on the depth at the entrance.
