  • The best boating Europe has to offer is here in Ireland. The River Shannon is probably the best boating in Europe. With dozens of beautiful lakes, free moorings, only 6 locks in 365Klm of river. It's clearly the best Boating Europe has to offer. Oh did I mention the fishing, the great food and the Guinness too?

    Great to see more of your blog again. I hired a boat for the first time last year and watched all your clips before my trip and they were a great help. Looking forward to getting back to Carrick in July :)

    Thanks for all the videos. You inspired me to finally get a boat on the water this year after years of debating the idea. Picked up a Semaster 30 at a good price that needs a bit of TLC but it floats and the engine runs! Maybe I'll see ye on the water over the season! My seamaster has the aft cabin removed so I don't think there's too many of them around!

    Great to see you on the Shannon again! Google Street View shows a way around Termonbarry Lock via the Royal Canal and Camlin River. Is the Clondara Lock on this route also closed?

      Thanks Drew, ye all the locks are closed for the time being. Hopefully they'll open next month 🤞

      Hi Doug, ye I was talking to one of the engineers and apparently the collar has pulled out of the stonework. Seems to be quite a job to fix it.

      @@DriftwoodBoatBlog Yeah, honestly I don't think they were ever right after they were put in. I hope it doesn't drag out and impact the season, however short it ends up being!

    • @DriftwoodBoatBlog
      @DriftwoodBoatBlog  3 роки тому +1

      Least we'd be able to by-pass by going up the Camlin. It's the only lock on the system where there is an alternative route 👍
