I was boarding the boat to the Saltee Islands when I saw them – a group of people lugging a giant boombox down the dock, the kind that blares music at an unnecessarily thunderous volume.
It would be offensive in a park or on the beach, but we were going to see the island’s puffins, a vulnerable species that’s protected in Ireland.
