Stranded Mooring Balls

One of the things that is interesting about Ireland is that because it is an island nation, the tides can be very dramatic on the coastline near the bay. On this occasion, I visited Malahide, just outside of Dublin, to walk along the beach.

When I got there, the tide had gone out around the Marina stranding this set of mooring balls. I found it ironic since the purpose of a mooring ball and line is to allow ships to attach themselves in the bay so they don't have to dock in the harbor. I don't think anyone is going pulling up to these.
