Well done with this piece of footage. Really shows what they mean about the weather turning suddenly on the big lakes. Well handled!

Hi Harry... Years ago we (when I say we there was 5 X 8berth boats...) travelled from Drumaneer to Terryglass on the Easter bank holiday weekend and I'm nearly sure there was at least 7ft waves... just ask your brother in law Jim. This is his son btw, hehe!!!

Another fantastic video well done marion .

Love these videos

Dear Mar, another great video, thank you. I write this to comfort you. Just this afternoon I moved off in fair weather & beautiful skies. My destination was the port of Barcelona. Forecast promised a smooth warm journey. I dressed lightly in shorts & teashirt, checked that all was secure, double checked my compass bearings and estimated my journey to be 2hrs 10mins. After 45 mins I recognised a weather squawl ahead in the skies. 😣 I had to make a decision as a single Master entity. Do I cut engine and lose momentum to get myself weather-geared up for this storm; or do I continue towards the port of Barcelona at a faster rate, to beat the storm? Well my ego decided for me; that I should fight my way through this big cloud and so I increased speed, now up to 250kph, everything balanced, shorts and teashirt tucked in, elbows & knees sheltered; safe in the knowledge that I have another 50kph in reserve. I could possibly miss this storm if I progress at 300kph.😁 Then it came ... a thunderous explosion 😨😨😨 from the heavens!!! Still I challenge these outwordly forces. Rising now towards 270kph my knees are now numb and cold. My hands, my head, ... all my limbs are sore and tired. I am just waiting for my inner strength to take over. Then the inevitable happens!😲😱 It begins to rain! A no no in my book in Spain. Took my expensive motorbike to a roadside motel and booked in for the night haha! Yes harry & Mar & subscribers ... we all have chicken points. And that is okay. I see Harry aware of Mar's chicken point. I see my bike aware of my chicken point. I see me aware that my chicken point is safely below my bike's capabilities. If I had had a girlfriend on the back of my bike during todays journey then I am sure that we would have been travelling at 90kms! (With occasional spurts of 200). 😁😁😁 Keep it coming you two .

Well only been a month and we upgraded from a 23 freeman to a 33 dutch steel pedro thanks to you lol , might do a blog from day of move aboard pick her up next week in athlone

Hi lads, lovely vlog again. I feel I know ye as friends at this stage, even though you never met me. My photo is a good few years old. I live overseas so if & when we do meet, I'll have the advantage, for a few minutes anyway.LOL. Harry, you seem to be a bit of a worrier, the boat touching off the bottom, pressure & water guages etc. Don't be worrying about these things, worrying won't help anyway. Relax & enjoy, like Marion. Also, I know we give-out about the rain etc, but without it we wouldn't have the boating! Thanks for video. Looking forward to the next one. Beni.

Love the vids, we are hopefully picking up our 1970 33ft pedro in athlone next week, you inspired our family to do a blog, not as nice as yers tho, from the time we board the boat, to fixing her up and getting her ready for spring. So wish us luck getting across lough ree to lough key, also if you could, can you recommend 3 marinas with electric we can visit on our way up, i was thinkn from coosan to lanesboro, then maybe tarmonbarry, not sure on tarmon barry, any where you recommend between lanesboro and coosan? Then dromod, carrick, then home to lough ree, thanks guys, Joe ,Shirley, and Ben

Poor Marion 😧 you do be so nervous 😉

Not so nice weather, but we are not afraid of this kind of weather. We are always careful and accusrtomed all kind of weathers. We star Banagher 1st oc and maybe reach leitrim and Battlebridge.

I wouldn't like to see Margaret's face in a really bad storm.
