Using the Stepping

Stone Route’ across

the North Atlantic

with stops on the

Aran Islands, in

Donegal, the Hebrides

and in Iceland,

Severin and his crew
proved that it was

possible for St.
Brendan to have

made the voyage to

America in such a

craft.

When the hull was

punctured by sharp

ice, two crew

members – one inside

and one hanging over the side of the

boat into the freezing water were able to

sew a leather patch over the damaged
area.

We enjoy the nice wooded walk on a

moss covered stone lined path. The

woods look just right for a leprechaun to

be living in a hollow tree stump but
sadly we don’t see any of the wee folk

about.
