Thanks Derek! Dont think that was me though, I sailed from Inishmore to Rosaveel today, haven't been to Roundstone. There was a very similar looking British boat in Inishmore a few days ago, with an aeries wind vane too, may have been them
Another great video Mark. Was meant to be bringing my boat around to Kinsale this weekend, but wind and wave has conspired against me… living vicariously through UA-cam sailing videos as a result!
Wind and waves seem to do that. I'm trying to get from Galway to Sligo at the moment and these N and NW winds are just a killer. Think I'll spend another week in Galway bay and the Aran islands
Ahhhhhhh,,in three part harmony,,,me heart bleeds for ye.You should be more helpful and tell Marque not to go to Sligo,,,awful county with the most rainfall in Ire land. Jus sayin is all
In retrospect, very possibly. I was thrown by how close to the city it was, a few hundred metres from the lock gates. Behaviour was much more shark like than dolphin/porpoise
loved your videos especially Atlantic trip, convinced me to buy a Halmatic 30. not sure the standing rigging is right though! any chance you know the correct diameter for the caps and lowers? thanks Jim.
Hi Jim, thanks very much! I had mine replaced in 2019, as follows, including cost: Cap shrouds 7mm Lower shrouds 7mm Baby stay 6mm Forestay 7mm Backstay (single) 7mm Cost of materials made from using 316grade 1x19 s/steel wire, high quality Sta-Lok swage terminals & chrome bronze rigging screws € 1,699.10 Hope this helps!

Keep the videos coming Mark. Loving them
Thanks a million James, hope all well with you guys.
Beautiful Ireland
See your yacht at anchor at Roundstone today (Sun) all looking well in blustery conditions. Well done on the sailing.

I always enjoy your videos! Keep going!

Great sailing video as always thanks for sharing. Best regards from Jarle
Thanks Jarle!
Wondering about the fins you saw in Galway Bay. Could they have been basking sharks? There've been quite a few sightings this month...
