The Jester Challenge 2025 solo single handed sailing event part 4.. It's Thursday, and at last the wind has arrived and its coming (for now) from a useful direction! 00:00 On the way to Fastnet! 00:

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 .

This week I am waiting for a good weather window to sail south to the Cape Verde and on across the Atlantic. Food shopping and preparing Waxwing for the voyage. I get to meet my friends in los palmas and go to see customs . I introduce a new partner called Alma Portugal, delighted to be working with them . https://www.patreon.com/peterlawless?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator https://instagram.com/almahumans?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
