Ed, this is an excellent video. I’d always wanted to sail in Newfoundland but I’m afraid the closest I’ll get is through your presentations. Which are uniformly well made, knowledgeable and easy to listen to narration and beautiful to see. I was sorry to see Chico is gone. We lost our Yellow Lab about 20 years ago and I still grieve.

Beautiful video. I’m a Lake from Placentia but my family came from St. Kyrans. My grandfather Jerome Lake owns the cabin you were next too. When he passed in 2021 we took his ashes over and made up that plaque.

Great video! Thank you for such an awesome video. My mother was 5 when she resettled from Miller's Passage to Lourdes on the Port Au Port Peninsula. God Rest her soul

wow I was researching these churches last year and could not find any good photos glad I got to see it

This is beautiful Ed. Thank you so much. Martha O'Driscoll

Brilliant, Ed.

Beautiful evocative record of your voyage. Thank you

Such raw beautiful, wonderful job . Thank you !

watched it again for 3rd time eagerly awaiting the next one. Thank you so much for your labor of love

Fantastic video Ed, simply top notch. Thanks again for taking us along on your adventures. I hope to one day see some of these wonderful places myself.

Awesome video! I practically grew up in Kingwell ( Next to Port Royal) during the summers in the late 70's and 80's. No bay like Placentia Bay WHEN it's sunny 😊

Great video Ed. I would love to sail around Newfoundland in next couple of years.

I was there in 1963, came by CNN Ferry from Argentia, the church was still standing and the paths were well groomed. Was a guest of the Millers and went trout fishing in the lakes above. I missed the ferry and was transported back in a punt( Make & Break) to Placentia. Stil have pictures of me and Neich Miller. We fried them up in bacon grease and ate them like bacon. Visited a few other houses and they all wanted to know about President Kennedy like he was my brother. They all had pictures of him hanging in the parlor! I am 78 now and still remember well.

Very interesting video, my grandparents Buffetts all came from Jersey Harbour and that area.

Well-conceived, artfully filmed and lovingly presented. Congratulations, Mr. O'Reilly on this moving and respectful presentation. My ancestors hail from St. Kyran's and I had the wonderful experience over several days to visit the area many years ago. Once again, thank you for rekindling those sweet memories.

Ed … as always your videos leave me speechless. It’s Christmas Day and Greg and I are watching your sailing documentaries. You are amazing!!! A gift to the histories of NL

another great video. Thank you Ed. looking forward to the next video.

Fascinating stuff! Great video

Such wonderful discovery for me! My dad was born in 1903 and grew up in Jersey Harbour. This is the first time I have ever seen Jersey Harbour and it was very exciting but also very moving for me. It is on my bucket list to visit some day, somehow. BTW, we have C&C32 which we sail on Lake Ontario... I could imagine your wonderful journey. Thank you!!!

As always Ed, very well done and very touching. My neighbours for over 40 years are the Lake family from Oderin and I will be sure to tell them about this video and your upcoming videos.
