A rare good news story (13)
online today!online today!snowlynxgalway, Galway Ireland56 Threads 4,998 PostsI am lucky enough to live near Galway bay, a place that can be stunningly beautiful sometimes. Every summer there are safety warnings but kids will be kids and take chances. Yesterday two girls in their late teens went paddle boarding at a beach just outside Galway city. Foolishly they decided to try to paddle into the centre of the bay, near the city. They were swept out into the bay. A search failed to find them and was called off for the night. Chances of a happy end to this were very slim. When the search resumed this morning they were - incredibly - located alive and well underneath some cliffs in a nearby county, clinging onto a lobster pot. They were 17 miles from the beach they started out on!

Hey Snowman 
We sure need a happy ending story. Thank you for posting it.
Teenagers think they know better than everyone else. Situations like this hopefully will teach them a lesson not to be forgotten.

I remember Ireland best from this experience.
I arrived at Baltimore after a long trip with hiking from Kinsale, to another village where I took the bus to Skibbereen and from there to Baltimore.
When I got rid of my stuff in the Hostel, I took a walk towards the beach, and found a pub. So I sat outside having some beers and talking to some people. Suddenly a seagull flew over pooped in the glas of beer of the woman sitting at the table next to me, over her and my trousers. It was a complete mess, but we could laugh about it.
Well, when you gotta go, you gotta go.
By the way, Skibbereen is a nice village/city, but in Ireland avoid the big cities they're grey and disappointing. At least Corl and Dublin were in my opinion.

They kept together for 16 hours (and over a night!) - that's the spirit! Hope, there will be no negative consequences for their health.
