Went through in 2008. Interesting experience. Had just 2" clearance under the old lock gates as Kindred Spirit is high. New gates are 2" lower.

You could try Humming Wire. Birdscare Humming Line - Polytunnels & Greenhouses, Ireland's Polytunnel Company

Paul's Facebook blog is very interesting with his short videos.

Just spotted this thread, Noel. Enjoy. The jet stream seems to be staying north for a while anyway. :)

Well done. It was a terrible tragedy.

Happy Christmas everyone.

Hi Noel, Still in Harbour Village Marina. Not sure where to lift out for the winter this year. :( When you're down in Killaloe give a ring. Kevin.

Ah, swinging around on the hook, looking up at the sky and the ghostly hills, you get the happy illusion that you are "free". I know it's only an illusion before you have to return to reality but it's lovely while it lasts. :)

I've been quite happy to make long trips in my single-engined 28' Astinor 840. Made quite a few 2 day trips from Kilrush to Cork. And 1 day trip Cork to the Scilly Isles 135 miles. Also Cork to Neyland 135 miles, one day. The Astinor is EU classification B. Engine: Yanmar 250hp. I love being out...

Have used Fuelset for the last 15 years. Seems to work. :)

Last time I came through a Force 8, my windscreen was fine but my two wipers were MANGLED! AND, I never want to see any Force 8s again. Boat can cope but it's a bit worrying when looking at the sea state. :(

Fabulous pics. Used to eat at the Long Dock very often.

Looking forward to more pics Noel. Ventry Harbour is brill. Did you "do" Smerwick Harbour as well?

Lovely pictures, Alt. Reminds me of our trip to Inchagoill a couple of years ago. Are there still mink on the island?
