US singer Taylor Swift once sent a letter to two girls who underwent a terrifying 15 hour ordeal after drifting out on paddle boards in Galway Bay three years ago.
Galway cousins Ellen Glynn, then 17, and Sara Feeney, then 23, said they sang Swift’s song ‘Exile’ during their ordeal where they drifted some 33km towards the Cliffs of Moher from Furbo Beach on the evening of August 13, 2020.
The two were eventually rescued the following day, having spent the night at sea clinging to a crab pot and enduring swells, heavy rain, cold temperatures, thunder and lightning, by fishermen Patrick Oliver and his son Morgan.
