I was delighted to meet Jack and Donnacha in the middle of the the Shannon Estuary on Tuesday afternoon while they were at anchor waiting for the tide to turn near Shannon Airport. I was on my way back up from Kilrush to Killaloe. We stopped for a chat. These two amazing men have just rowed their little boat from Lough Allen the full length of the Shannon down to Tarbert in the estuary in aid of the Children's charity "ShantiStreetKids.org". Donnacha is 71 and his 1st mate Jack has Multiple Sclerosis, yet they managed this amazing feat to help others. Well done. I am happy to report that they safely completed they voyage yesterday.
