Inishmoore Island 1991 / Iota EU-006

Six years later I decided to visit the Aran-Island once again, but this time a bit more longer. So Helmut an I agreed on a 10 days stay at the island during our three weeks holidays in Ireland. Getting my old callsign again was no problem and there we go.

The good old 'Queen of Aran' which brought us to the island in 1985 and the new speed ferry serving the island today
