Hi Andy, I just drilled two holes. And got a big pin from the local farm shop.

Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching. Yep pair of waders up pass my chest and crawl under the boat to scrape the keel and hull then paint, but there is a apart i cant get to but can get it from the dingie when a float

@@sailingceltic1911 Hm.

@@sailingceltic1911 I've bought a capable boat with a view to do the Jester Baltimore just got to pluck up the courage now. Great vid well done.

@Back to the Barky cool I might see you in June so. The hardest part is getting to the start line, good luck and following seas 🌊 👍

Thanks buddy. 😊

Hi Seamus, i had to watch the video again to see. and yes i had a head wind that day and wanted to see if i could handle it with out the engine. you have very true and wise words about being able to go on adventures, to many people dont try. Thanks for taking the time to watch my video. FAIR WINDS T.J.

@@sailingceltic1911 no bother I'll definitely subscribe and like to follow your future voyages take care and talk soon seamus 😎

Lol 😆 trust you 🤣. Thanks, you better tell the U.K. I have 6 boats so far coming on the invasion of the Scillys in July 😆. I hope you and yours are keeping well, 😉

what is the tide range were you are ?????. $2000 seams a lot

@@sailingceltic1911 I don't know the actual tide range actually. I'll have to look that up, but I know there is no place here in California that'll let you dry out like in your video. Too many rules. Also, I need new paint. 2k is for the lifting of the boat and the all the materials.

cheers Edward. you cant take short cuts with sail boats, Its Not like you can pull over if something goes wrong LOL

@@sailingceltic1911 I wish you were next door! I haven't even begun to fiddle with the motor on my boat. I'd like to convert her to some sort of electric setup, but all in good time. Are you still doing your around Ireland trip? I can't help much with sailing expertise ,but if you need help with video, I'm your man.

@@EdwardSeatonSailings I finished the sail around Ireland. I now have a 28ft boat " I can actually lay flat in it lol" I need you next door to help with my videos, it really frustrating doing the editing. I am up to date now with ur videos. Did I see Welsh flags in one ???

@@sailingceltic1911 sure did! I've got some family who live in Wales. I love that side of the pond! Somehow I ended up in California. Thanks for watching my videos. I've been a professional editor for many years. What are you using to cut your videos?

@@EdwardSeatonSailings cool spot Wales i will be sailing there next year in the Jester Challenge from Pwllheli "jesterchallenge.wordpress.com/baltimore-2023/" for editing i use Movie Maker, but i dont have the patience for it "apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/movie-maker-video-editor-pro/9N9KBWP6HVQQ?hl=en-ie&gl=ie

Lol 😂. More like a shed of unfinished projects and broken dreams. Your welcome you use it when you sail over here 😉

it will the the A Team music when i get you on the boat

Hi Geoff we had to cut our trip short to get bac to Ireland for the covid jab, I hope to make it back to the Scillys agin this year "great spot" I will keep a eye out for you on my island 😁

yes Cian, great spot and a nice lenght of a sail over. are you still back over here this summer ???

@@sailingceltic1911 That's sure the plan! Departing first weather window we get 1st June, ~3 weeks and some change

Hi Reinier, Yes i think the Mirage is a VERY good boat. Holland i have good memories from my bike racing days their "Drachten" Drag strip. Lets hope we all get back to normal soon

great spot allright, hopefully going back in June. keep an eye out on Sailing Ireland FB page for the dates there are a few hoping to go

some spot allright, their might be a few of us going back again in June, keep a eye out on "Sailing Ireland" face book page for more info 😁😁

@@sailingceltic1911 John in Oregon until start of July 😭 but will try to get down asap

@@WavedancerWesterlyfulmar i hope to make it a regular cruising ground for the summer, so we might meet up

it was your advice i took to go to St Helens pool THANKS. the piper was at sundown so not a bad thing, we are hoping to go back aging this year to see some more of the islands, great spot when the weather is good. i was jelous of Davids abilty to dry out with the bilge keeler and walk ashore "dont tell him" lol🤣😂😁

some place Gavin, I can tell ya i had a soar head for half of the stay LOL "to old for the drinking game but had a good go at it "

lol Cheers David, can't make it look to bad or i wont be let out to play with you anymore. ya that Pigeon had a grand sail home but when i evicted him he headed back out to sea, i think he started in Ireland, i am guessing he cursed me all the way to France

I know i was thinking do i get the boat or him first LOL

@@sailingceltic1911 definitely the boat… 😂😂😂😂

@@WaywardLifeSailing like your style lol

Cheers Gavin. It all came together for that trip when is stared off so bad 😀

For sure Dave. Great memories and we have to go out and make more 💯🤔🤔🤔

Well spotted with the song Mike .. it takes so long to put these together but worth it in the end 🥳🥳🥳

Ardmore is lovley in the correct conditions, with a lovley town within a smally dingie ride and walk. I try and use the hotel mooring if it is free, i have never gone to Hekvick is their a mooring their ????? i like a mooring if i am staying overnight with Poppy

No moorings in Helvick. We anchor basically in line with the house with the statue of our lady facing the water. Looking into the harbour. Ardmore was lovely but quite rolly when we were there. Probably could have tucked in closer but our depth sounder was playing silly beggars so just using contours. Didn't spot mooring until later. Will know next time. Our best friend (who introduced us) his family have a house there so gave us the low down on where's the go to places

Hello Mick, thanks for the message, The mooring situation is a mine field, we will need a night on the high stool to short it out, Name a pub and a time and we can have a chat over a few scoops ;-)

Mick i set up a Facebook page for sailors in Ireland "Sailing Ireland" you might get good advice their to, facebook.com/groups/223606028672000

Cheers buddy, thanks for watching, lets hope we get some good sailing this year

it does take some imagination of long hot summer days sailing to get out of a warm bed to go to a cold damp boat and do some work, Thats for sure, worth it in the end

Hi Jim. the mirage is my 2nd boat, so i am not realy quailfied to say, BUT i was stuck in a force 6 during the Jester challange over night, and the boat realy looked after me. I have a spinnaker but i have not used it as my big Genoa will get me going in anything over 5kts. THANKS FOR WATCHING T.J.

@@sailingceltic1911 thank you for your reply, much appreciated. take care Jim

Thanks for watching ;-) yes i love the Mirage, i was looking for a westerly centure when i found it, seem to be doing more work on it than sailing it lately LOL FAIR WINDS

@@sailingceltic1911 we are all desperate to get back on the water.

Hi Patrick, no i never got a new head, the fix i done got me around Ireland and i then sold the boat, as far as i know the head is still good, i cant belive the price of the head, I think ebay would be your best shot but their is allways the risk of buying somones elses Problems, FAIR WINDS T.J.

@@sailingceltic1911 Thanks for that, tell me ,when you were preparing the exhaust port for the epoxy metal, how did you prepare the surface of the port; because that would have oil and carbon on the surface. I tried to sand out the port and managed to go through into the valve area by mistake , as it was so thin. thanks Patrick.

@@patrickhouston829 i used a dremmel with a wire brush attchment and loads of break cleaner, It was a long job and the cleaning was the hardest part, if i can renmber i put the JB Weld all around the exaust port so it was a continous tube, then used the dremmel to shape it, dont be shy with the JB weld.

@@sailingceltic1911 Good man, many thanks for the advice, I was trying to get a head from china, because of the price, but had no luck in that search.

Thank you very much. Making memories and i am guessing when Poppy is a teenager and into Boys or Girls, she will not want to spend so much time with her Dad, so making the most of it now LOL

Hi John i took out the bracket because their was 2 cracks, i put in extra bracing "still broke again" so i am at the moment making a new mount for the heat exchange, off the engine, i realy hope it fixes it

Thanks John, it was very enjoyable and now on to a bigger "more work" boat. Thanks for watching

cheers. as long as Poppy want to come sailing

Thanks Keith, wise words and still love sailing, Fair wind T.J.

Jasus Moorings stolen, never heard of that, did they remove them totally ??????. i was 3 years trying to get one layed in the end done it myself, found out most are OK but a couple of locals are very Upset LOL.

Hi the clutch system was like a ceramic material. from my motorbike days i know this can wear out and it would be hard to dectet in the oil as it goes to dust it is not Magnetic as far as i know. you would smell it b4 you see it. CHEERS T.J.

Cheers Tom, I am guessing i will only have a few more year untill she turnes into a teenager and boys will be more intresting than sailing with dad LOL
