Rathlin Island, an island between Ireland and Scotland, can only be reached by sailors within a narrow time window, outside of which it gets bumpy because of the races and overfalls. About 100 people live here, some of whom we met yesterday in the pub. If you want to move here, you have to accept a poll and a vote from those who already live here, I don't know whether that will take place in the pub or the church.
