Long Island is on the west side of Roaringwater Bay and not very close to Rabbit Island or Reen Pier. The Minke and her calf were certainly coming up very close to shore and a little further to the southwest off Goat Island. Customers are always surprised to see how close to shore the Minkes and Fins come – largely because there is deep water as the island shelve steeply giving deep water close inshore.

I can find them without you Chris but would prefer it if you came out again to help me! Ireland misses you! Hope to welcome you aboard Voyager again in the not too distant future.

Having just got back from touring Norfolk and Cornwall
I went straight to the blog. Wen you say Long Island is just outside Reen harbour near Rabbit island. If so then animal was coming in close tp shore. Look forward to reports of the fin whales. I think you can find them without me!
