Only time for the fist 20 minutes, but man what a great start. It is sooooooo good to have a crew of 3 over a couple. The whole group dynamic changes. The past video series of DrakeParagon with 'Eanna as crew were the best videos I have watched in the past 18 years of UA-cam!
I love the way you guys got right to work briefing as soon as he boarded. Really shows your care to safety, and preparedness. Tons of info and planning right off the bat. Putting him at ease instantly. You can tell you guys are true shipmates. I lost it when I thought you were pulling away from the dock, and Drake said, "dont go slow, Mo". I'm sorry, but I would have had to pretend to be in slow motion.
Great to see Eanna again! Drake and Mo love your channel! Your content is the best. I get so excited with every episode. I have a center console on Long Island NY. We fish but what you guys do is beyond comparison!
We so enjoyed your excitement in having Eanna return! Couldn't wait to see how the departure from the dock turned out, and boy was it smooth! Thanks for another great video that really makes us feel like we're along for the ride.
Plan, plan, plan, .... and contingency! Well done. Getting off with a wind blowing onto the dock is so hard, but you did an excellent, text-book demonstration of how to do it right. Good to see you back Eanna. I'm looking forward to seeing the Biscay crossing, and especially the coat of Portugal, given the recent orca activity.
It is indeed a great feeling of satisfaction when everything goes after the plan docking off the boat with the wind pushing you on the dock. Funny, I had to do the same thing today but backing on starboard instead and taking off forward to port trying to go free from a boat docked in front of me. My boat is only 28 foot but doing it solo was a bit of a nerve wracking! It worked out smooth after my plan though. Sailing Sweden now. Great to see Éanna again.
Oh man.. I know! I really want to make that video! And our home theater set up has also been greatly improved since I said that I wanted to make that video. Hopefully soon. Thanks for reminding me. :)
Hey Guys! Greetings from a liveaboard in Viveiro! Spoilerwarning I guess, but I saw you coming in here a while ago and I thought, jeez it's Paragon! Your channel was one of the few reasons i bought a boat myself and jumpstart my life on the water. Anyhow, If you are back in Viveiro and need anything, tools, a hand or a drink, feel free to knock on deck of my little Jenneau Fantasia :-)
Hello!!! We really fell in love with Viveiro. We'll be back there in another couple of weeks and will definitely look for you! Could send us an email at drakeparagon@gmail.com so we can contact you?
Hi, my understanding is that in the USA, when you are in a channel and returning to a port, you keep the red buoys on your starboard and green to port to stay in the channel. The old memory trick is "Red, Right, Returning". In the UK and Ireland, it's the opposite, so when you're returning to a port you would keep the red buoys to port instead of starboard to stay in the channel. But in this video, instead of entering the port, we were leaving it, so it's the opposite... so red to starboard, green to port.
Ha! It always surprises me when people notice little things in our videos that we never thought about. Yes, we wouldn't be able to use our UK Amazon Prime membership anymore where we were headed.
we have missed Eanna... so good to see and hear from him after so long.
Hey Eanna! So excited to see you abound again!

Knowing how to leave the dock in such conditions is called seamanship. Glad to see you back with Eanna, Cheers, Richard
Don't know why, but I allways smile after I watch your videos ... And - it happened again!.
Looking at the morning's vid list I saw Éanna. Clicked on this vid as quick as I could.

One of my favourite exit manoeuvres!

That's just a matter of time
Nice departure! Looking forward to the next few episodes!
Good to see you again Éanna :)
Wow, looking forward to seeing the rest of the trip. Good job getting off the Dock, you made it look too easy 😉😉

Howdy Éanna!!!! Welcome back, so nice to see your always smiling face again. Safe sailing all. Cheers from Sydney, Australia.
Good to see E’anna back onboard great video as usual.
I love how when Drake gets happy about something the pitch of his voice goes way up!

I have a question...when it the Entertainment System video coming??? 🙂
Oh man.. I know! I really want to make that video! And our home theater set up has also been greatly improved since I said that I wanted to make that video. Hopefully soon. Thanks for reminding me. :)
@@drakeParagon🤣👍
Drake speaking with heavy cold?
Hell yeah! WB Eanna!
So good to see Eanna back on board. Been a long time since Greenland 🇬🇱
Thanks guys great video and good to see the crew back together, missed Eanna. Looking forward to your next up date in sunny Spain 👍⛵
Im ready for the Miso soup now. Mo should be pretty fun.
Nice dockside maneuvering.
I just did 3000 miles with my starlink. Total game changer. Can't say enough about it for every thing off shore.
Fáilte ar ais! Welcome back! Éanna, a delight to see you reunited with these fab people and sound ship.
How can Eaana still look like a 15 year old 11 years later. If thats not an advert for a wholesome life on the emerald isle i dont know what is
you guys are great
Great video as usual.
So this was six months ago ?
This video starts with a black screen that states when and where this was filmed. "September 16th, 2023, Dingle, Ireland."
Nice! And how novel to see Drake and Mo IN THE SAME SHOT! I feel like that hasn't happened for awhile. :)

Is it not red to port and green to starboard in Ireland. I’m no expert
Hi, my understanding is that in the USA, when you are in a channel and returning to a port, you keep the red buoys on your starboard and green to port to stay in the channel.

@@drakeParagon thank you I understand it a bit better now. Have a great trip.

By the way Drake, are you still in toutch with Ben Sookey ?.
I found that vlog very interesting.
Gerard on board
SV GEMSTAR.
Éanna - you’re nearly as cool as Cillian Murphy! (Corkwoman here, so I have to be biased) ❤
"CANCEL PRIME"
Ha! It always surprises me when people notice little things in our videos that we never thought about. Yes, we wouldn't be able to use our UK Amazon Prime membership anymore where we were headed.
