Déardaoin Thursday July 28 Cummen Strand
Took a three hour and half hour hike across Cummen Strand at low tide to Coney Island or the gaeilge name for it is Inis Ui Mhaolchuiche.
It was amazing to be walking across to an island at low tide. I was a little over half way accross when a car pulled up beside me. I said hello (talk to everyone), how you doing? Her name was Emer. She and I chatted for a while, she in her car me standing on the empty strand. She was returning home to the island to visit her parents and sister and had timed her arrival from Dublin to coincide with the outgoing tide so she could get her car across! I met an island child - who asked me "Are you sure you are going to make it back before the tide comes in?" implying the tide was coming in ... his mother rushed in with "Pay no attention to him".
