The main storm was much worse the previous day, but I didn't bother to go out in it. However, despite being sheltered a little by the West Pier at Dun Laoghaire, just before the station here at Salthill, the trains were held up for an hour before and after high tide, as the waves driven by a strong easterly gale went over the sea wall and flooded the track. It was cold and the spray from the waves made picture taking life difficult. I then drove back slightly north to Seapoint where the more exposed shore - that I normally swim from - was getting a fair lashing. Definitely not a day for a swim!! And yes, I've noticed the smudges which I presume are on the lens from the spray - hopefully :-) Douglas
