Shannon Waterway
Ireland, one island, one term: Wilful! Everything seems to be wilful here, landscape, people, the weather. Hardly any other estuary on the world offers such beautiful scenery but hardly any other has to cope with such immediate changes of weather! Who doesn't feel comfortable in pure nature should avoid coming here.
Before navigating Lough Derg and Lough Ree make sure that there are no hard winds to be expected. You will not have to count on monsters here like in Loch Ness but there is plenty of fish.
