Superb pics!We had a wonderful stay on Davaar in September 2007.I note that there are now new caretakers on the island.Good luck to them.After we left I e-mailed the owner and jokingly asked to be notified should the caretaker job become vacant.The caretaker at that time was a wonderful chap,Len Bennett and his equally helpful wife Rose.Tragically Len passed away in January 2008 whilst crossing the causeway.Some months later I had an e-mail from the owner asking if I wished to be considered for the vacancy.The timing was not right and I had to turn it down.With hindsight,and now facing redundancy,I made a mistake in not applying.Ah well,that`s showbiz!

Is there anywhere on-line where you can find out about tide times as to plan a wee jaunt over to Davaar Island?
