As I sit here drinking my beer my thoughts are distracted by the waves gently lapping around the pier which is my hotel for the next few nights. 

My guest house sits right in the water and when I arrived this afternoon the tide was coming in but it had only got to the outer pillars. As I sit here at night sipping a beer and watching the wee boats with their green lights on looking for squid,  I’m finding myself quite relaxed. Mind you it could also be the gentle rocking of the hotel to the rhythm of the waves. I’ve slept in a water bed and I’ve slept at sea but I’ve never slept in a hotel literally in the sea so it will be interesting either way.
