The Boat to Inishbofin/ A Morning Stroll/ The Birds in Flight
Carl wrote those reels after playing a concert on Inishbofin with Kevin Crawford and Seán Smyth. What he remembered initially was the boat journey to the island. A good friend of his, Geraldine King, a native of Inishbofin and also a teaching colleague, was on her way home. When the driver arrived she advised Carl to grab a comfortable seat ASAP because Schuamarker was the pilot. This meant they were going to reach the island in record time which caught a lot of people off guard. The concert was fantastic and in the morning he had a lovely stroll on the island and enjoyed the tranquility.
