Around Ireland...which way and why?

Thanks Dansaskip just what we needed to hear. For my mate he's a busy guy and always needs to keep his ear to the ground. Do you think he'd get a phone signal all the way around? I suggested txting and picking them up when available signal?

There'll be gaps just as there are in the UK, but the cells in Ireland always seem to have better coverage over the water than in the UK. And of course with a roaming phone, depending upon who your home network is, you should have access to all or most of the Irish networks.

You will probably find that you can get reception a few miles offshore, and nothing inshore. I've found the best thing is to get people to text you; keep your phone on when sailing and suddenly everything pops up.

Spoiled for choice? You might try the old sailing ship masters' tip if, leaving Liverpool Bay/Holyhead you stick a wet finger in the air and let the wind decide. On that basis, we went once clockwise and once t'other way.

Or, as the Oirish say, when asked.... "Well, sor. If I was going there I wouldn't start from here."

Hardly in response to a question about which direction to travel !!
