After recent success in gaining his Mariphone (VHF) Licence Peter has been enthusiastically looking to regain some experience at his former love – the sea. More explicitly on the ocean wave. His dreams seem to have fulfilled recently when the website http://www.bandbireland.com have shown Glenribbeen Eco Lodge to be Ireland’s very first OFF-SHORE B&B.
Els and Peter are pleased (though confused) to add this honour to the already impressive list of awards and ‘firsts’ for their ground-breaking (!!!) B&B. Peter has been quoted as saying “though there is a history of boats in the family – my grandfather helped build the Titanic and my father was shipping manager for some small firms in Dundalk – I never really saw me actually running Ireland’s first floating B&”. He later added “of course I do have a Dutch ‘off-shore’ licence for commercial craft up to 20meters as well as experience on square-riggers and we have the Canadian canoe and a small sailboat we can use for groceries etc”.
Els simply wants to know “What about my garden?”.
The adventurous couple are thinking about now moving South in winter to “”Add a little extra for our Winter-guests.

“We hope too market this very selectively. Fáilte Ireland will now have to initiate a new category”. Quiped the ever ebullient Peter O’Connor. Master of the B&B Glenribbeen.
Can I get a WAVER for the accommodation costs of every other night? I get a bit seasick…
Har Har Har – NO go buy some fresh ginger. It’s the main constituant of all new sea-sick pills. Or Els can cook Indonesian for you – voll van gember.
