What is recorded here
Galway birthplace of Enda O'Coineen, the sailor who faced the Atlantic twice and emerged changed. In 1985 his boat capsized and a NATO warship pulled him back from the green dark; in 2017 he broke a mast near New Zealand during the Vendée Globe. The sea gave him failure, distance and return, which is more honest than trophy shelves.
