The Limerick Ketch Ilen arrived back at Dublin yesterday after a 21-year absence. She departed Dunmore East on Friday, where she had been joined by a group from Aiséirí, a dynamic residential treatment centre for adults affected by addiction.
This ‘voyage of recovery' was organised by Sailing into Wellness, the organisation with a mission towards inspiring positive change in individuals and communities through the medium of the sailing upon the sea.
The Ilen Project, which operates the Ilen as a community learning platform, also supports similar organisation who share its mission and values, and all involved are more than happy with collaboration with Sailing into Wellness making this voyage towards Dublin a success.
