Nothing special of this cover, but just want to say thanks to Yoram who sent it to me during a day trip to Dublin, the capital city of Ireland. Two stamps are split from two souvenir sheets respectively. The first one shown the Irish entry yacht named Green Dragon is one of boats in the Volvo Ocean Race, the game held on May 23 to June 6 started from the Spanish port Alicante via Galway, Ireland ; then turn west to America and finished at Saint Petersburg of Russia. The winner of this game is Ericsson 4, a entry yacht of Sweden. Banded Demoiselle is a species of damselfly, it often to be found in slow-flowing steams and rivers of European countries.
