  • Picking Up A Mooring Buoy singlehanded or with a crew needn't be difficult. When I first tried picking up a mooring buoy I got it completely wrong. But now I know the right way when picking up a mooring ball or buoy. It's not at all difficult, and this video makes it so easy.

      Hi Pete & Caroline,

    Thanks so much for sharing these videos. I had the great good fortune to live in Killaloe from Jul 2016 to Dec 2018, and the even greater fortune to meet and sail as crew on Rayon de Lune out of Garrykennedy on Saturday afternoons. Your videos bring back many happy memories of living beside the Shannon and of hours spent sailing on Lough Derg. I'm now land locked in Ohio again, but ever grateful for the lovely time we spent in Ireland.

    Good advice as usual.
    I went ahead and got my Victron solar panel and control unit from Karl in euromotive. Super job altogether even with poor sun.

    Is this just for iwai members only that mooring bhoy? I've always seen it but wasn't sure, I would not want to be annoying anyone, it's a lovely place to stop off, harry. I love these tip vids, like the inner lakes one, it was a gem of a spot.

    • @DriftwoodBoatBlog
      @DriftwoodBoatBlog  2 роки тому +1

      Hi, no anyone can use them as far as I'm aware. It would certainly be difficult to police them if they were for iwai members only👍 Just tie on and enjoy. NB I wouldn't trust them in a wind 🙌

    I enjoyed your film and am pleased you will be exploring the Estuary later on. Re mooring buoys: is there a map of remote mooring buoys on the River Shannon? Are they available to all users in the way that the Waterways Ireland buoys on the Erne Navigation are? The Shannon could certainly benefit from buoys like those on the Erne.

    • @DriftwoodBoatBlog
      @DriftwoodBoatBlog  3 роки тому

      Hi Brendan, glad you enjoyed it. Yes the mooring buoys on the Shannon are marked on the charts. There are quite a few of them often in secluded bays. 🤞for the estuary 😀

    Hey guys!
    Just a quick question!
    About to go on my first boating holiday on loch Erne with my little 17ft 2 berth cruiser.
    Do I really need a depth finder or can I just use the markers or map I bought which tells me the depths.
    Kind regards

    • @DriftwoodBoatBlog
      @DriftwoodBoatBlog  3 роки тому

      Our 1st boat was a 17' two berth, it was made of plywood! and we had two young children onboard too😀 You won't need a depth sounder at all. just get the charts and follow them. All will be good, hope you will have s great holiday, enjoy 👍 H&M
