Lovely sail down the coast of Portugal to the algarve, sailing in company with another yacht is always fun , picking the best route that avoids orca ! Lovely anchorage in portimao, last minute flight back to Ireland to see my mum 😊⛵️

This week we sail up to Lisbon under the red bridge and into Seixal for shelter and a safe place to moor Waxwing while I deliver a 52 ft yacht from Porto to the algarve. Got invited onboard a beautiful old sail training ship 😊⛵️

Lovely sailing and day to day life onboard Waxwing. Sorry for delay but couldn’t upload so I had to edit out all my GoPro footage, wrong format maybe? Pity it was alot of good sailing footage 😊⛵️

Finally got a weather window to set sail for north Spain from Valentia island co Kerry for Spain and Portugal. Nix bag of weather but great sailing 😊⛵️ #boatlife #ocean #sailing #predictwind # solo sailing

This week we are back sailing Waxwing .We set sail from Bantry bay Co Cork heading for Dingle Co Kerry but stopped in Knightstown Valentia island Co Kerry for small repair and decided to shelter here from storm Erin , Knightstown is beautiful and well sheltered so a great place to wait out the bad weather. #sailing #boatlife #ocean

This week we had to move an Aurora 40 sailboat on a short trip from Bantry to Oldcourt in Co cork Ireland.

Part two of the delivery this week from A Coruna Spain , to Cascais Portugal and on to the final destination Portimao. Good mix of weather , winds didn’t go over 25kn and some days very light and foggy but in general it was a great run down the Spanish and Portuguese coasts . #sailing #hydrovane #sailboat #ocean #boatlife #yachtdelivery

I fitted a Hydrovane for Tony the owner earlier this year ( I’m recommended fitter for Hydrovane) and Tony asked me if I would deliver his saddler to the algarve? I said ok , I deliver a lot of different yachts and motorboats also but mostly 40ft +, when I was younger a 32 ft boat was a big boat , I sailed a vindo 30 for years , so I was looking forward to the trip , it turned out great so far , Tony is a gentleman and a great sailor and we are having a good laugh along the way . This episode we sail from Ireland to A Coruna without stopping. #sailing #boatlife #hydrovane #ocean #sailboat #yachtdelivery

Part 1 . This week I set sail from Ponta Delgada in the Azores to deliver a lovely Tradewind 35 to Cowes in the uk. Sailing with me is my friend Des McMahon, we have been friends for years driving Harley’s and sailing together, Des is a top sailor and great company also , we laughed most of the way 😊 #boatlife #sailboat #sailing #ocean #hydrovane #sailing #yachtdelivery

This week we sail from Ballycotton to Kinsale then on to Bantry bay in Co cork Ireland . Beautiful weather , great company,calm seas stunning Irish coastline. Oh and unfortunately a broken anchor windlass ⛵️⚓️

This week we sail Waxwing from Arklow Co Wicklow to Kilmore Quay in Wexford .Noticed vibration on my propeller shaft as we approached Kilmore so had to use the GoPro to check for rope on the prop , I replace my propeller shaft coupling that I had onboard , then sail to Ballycotton Co Cork and anchor there for the night .⛵️⚓️

S3 ep2 lovely sail from Greystones marina to Arklow Co Wicklow Ireland

S3 ep 1 A short video just to thank everyone for all the messages on WhatsApp, facebook instagram etc also to all the lovely people that have stopped me to say hi , also a few minutes of a yacht delivery I did last summer from Greece to Lisbon Portugal .

Engine failure 100nm north of Madeira meant it was safer to sail back to Porto Santo . It all worked out well and it was so incredible to have a great sailing community here to help . Will remove my injection pump and have it refurbished hopefully in Funchal (the main island of Madeira 😊

So happy to feel healthy and strong again , decided to sail to Porto santo one of the islands of Madeira. Great to be back to what I love .. sailing ⛵️

So lovely to be back onboard Waxwing for a week after 5 weeks at home in Ireland. Lovely weather to warm the body , nice also to check everything onboard. Carrying out some simple maintenance and repairs.

Unfortunately I had to make a tough decision to sail north instead of south , this week I sail to Santa Cruz de Tenerife .
