Lough Derg Airshow
Переглядів 25212 років тому
A few shots from the 'Lough Derg Air Spectacular' - Not very spectacular especially given the weather, but an enjoyable afternoon all the same. Taken from the back of my boat so very shaky footage, not helped by the poor focusing ability of the camera in such poor lighting conditions. Music:- Cruising by www.pacdv.com/sounds/
Inconsiderate Boating

This was filmed in an area where many boats were at anchor to watch an air show. No real harm done that I am aware of, but very inconsiderate. Music: starburst-dreams by Dan-O at DanoSongs.com

OK - I Cheated a little - the journey took about 2.5 hours, so I just sped up the video.

I had quite an enjoyable run down from Terryglass, and this was as rough as it got. I have been out in worse (force 8) but remembered to get the mobile out and record it this time :)
It's a bit terrifying isn't it?
The cape horn of Lough Derg
Amazing!
wrong side of marker at 4:43 nice vid though
+andrew mockler Hi Andrew,Yes, you are correct - but visibility was good and there is a nasty concrete slipway for a boat club nearby that would make it more risky to use the correct arch when there are turbines running :-)
ahhh ok,, havent gone past killaloe yet, but have done beleek to killaloe thanks for the upload
No problem - I did wonder if it was just a way of saying things rather than something to be taken literally. I am glad it brought back some happy memories!
I sometimes word things awkwardly. I'm sorry.I hope you realize that no offense was intended by my comment.
Glad you enjoyed it! :-)
Hardly rich! I choose what to spend my money on, the same as anybody can - I don't drink much, I don't smoke and I don't keep buying things just because there is a 'latest one' My boating costs are no more than most people spend on their annual holidays, and I use my boat for my holidays.
You fellows are all rich!! We used to watch the boats when we were Kids. Although I did have a Rubber Dingy when I was a Kid. And I took my friends on "long Cruises" at Corbally "millions of years ago" in the late 1940's and the early 1950's. If there's anyone in that age group reading this comment, did you know my older Brother: Helmi Kniebe? He went to Corbally frequently.
Amazing video, thanks for sharing. That is my family house perched beside Mathew Bridge. We used to take the exact same journey with my father when we were kids
Hi John, There was only one turbine running when we exited the lock, but a second had kicked in by the time we had go to Limerick. Later in the day a third was started and the flow increased yet again, but all boats were safely moored by then. For the last few years it has been virtually impossible to moor there due to silt build up in the marina, but now WI have dredged it (and are committed to keeping it clear) there will be a lot more traffic I am sure. thanks, B
Thanks a lot for posting this video. I am from Limerick and have navigated the Shannon from Killaloe to Keshkarrigan but never had the opportunity to come from Anrdacrusha to the City. It all looked rather calm with the exception of Matthew & Sylvester O'Halloran bridges where it looked like the current got a bit stronger. Its a a totally under used piece of the river. Thanks again.
No probs Paul - Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for bringing the laptop with the links to the ATC and (radar?) images. It helped fill in a few blanks.
Nice video Brian. Had a great day. Thanks.
Sorry, I am unsure, but at a guess I would say 100ft or so.
Reminds me of the lock outside st omer in france, but doubled!!
wow, what a brilliant bit of engineering wonderful Dylan
I know that boat!!!!!!! :)
