#80 - Sean Pierce - For the Love of Islands

There’s something magical about islands to a paddler and that’s definitely true for Sean Pierce. For starters, he was the photo editor for Ireland’s foremost paddling guide book, Oilean (Irish for Island), so that should tell you something. 

Sean is known in the Irish sea kayaking community for both his involvement in the Irish Sea Kayaking Association, but even more so for his passionate pursuit of birding while visiting those islands. Today we will talk with Sean about the island that is Ireland, but also many others, including the worlds largest island. 

Thanks to Kevin O’Sullivan not only for referring Sean but for sending me a copy of Oilean.  As a self-confessed guidebook and map geek, it’s a favorite in my library.

Enjoy today’s episode with Sean Pierce!
