Force 7 from Galway

The sand dances along the footpath on Salthill promenade with every gust of wind this morning. According to a buoy off Slyne Head, unromantically named M1, (and the Beaufort Scale), the wind is blowing at Strong Breeze level, gusting to Near Gale Force. It certainly felt like that - the spray at high tide easily reached the roadway. The wind (or the less than Mediterranean temperatures) didn't deter a bunch of swimmers - no better way to clear the head at the end of the weekend.
