Led by the Bantry gig Unité, Water Heritage Day was celebrated by a vast array of boats including a second Bantry gig, the Sionn Bharra with a crew from Bantry and the Fionnbarra. Yachts, coastal rowing boats from Kenmare RC, motor boats and dinghies all navigated their way, albeit slowly due to the light winds. At the proposed BMAC site, Liam Kelleher, researcher with the CúLir and other BMAC committee members, did a shore walk and analysed some material from the beach before the large group of swimmers swam to the airstrip and back. Water Heritage Day was funded by the River Basin Management Service, formerly LAWPRO.
