Pier 41 of 118: Rossaveel. Re-inked the slipway three times because the tide tables disagreed with the 1898 survey. The survey was right.

Reminder that "Inis" on a map is not decoration. It is the island telling you who named it first.

Spring tide on the 17th, so I am out at Spiddal at 06:10 with the plane table. Bring a flask.

Yes, the contour interval changes at the county line. Two surveyors, two pens, one very confused hill.
