Dublin in summer is lovely, just like every other city in the world. The difference for us is that we rarely get good weather combined with a weekend. The South Wall was full of people out for a walk, and there were plenty of fishermen trying their luck - but we saw no fish.
On our way back we witnessed a Stena Line Dublin-Holyhead ferry entering Dublin Port. There is a curious effect when this ship, and I'm many others of similar size, enter the port. The ship slowly travels between the North and South Walls, but a Tsunami-like effect can be witnessed as the ship passes by. I shot the video below with my iPhone today to show what I mean. The effect of the waves washing up at the pier gives an idea on how a tsunami like wave can be generated in a very small space of time - very powerful.
