Nothing wrong with cold ravioli, I grew up on it sailing the Blackwater . I was 12 when I realised most parents heated it up 😅

Nice one Sam, lovely run. Yoa -all

[@WavedancerWesterlyfulmar]

You can bring bins ashore in Ireland. Some marinas are better equipped than other places we noticed. Arklow, Dun laoighaire and malahide have great bins😂

Great stuff!

[@stevenwatsham5973]

Those Hurley 22s seem to be incredibly capable little Yachts!..

[@Sp3ktral22]

Sam, Thank you very much for making and publishing this great content. I really appreciate it and I'm sure many others do too.

[@peterbrook3010]

Great video and a great achievement on a 7m yacht! The thoughtfulness you apply to the planning and the actual passages is impressive. Looking forward to the remainder of the circumnavigation! Stay safe.

Well done old chap. You are a bloody good sailor and it is a pleasure to watch your progress. Best wishes

[@anncrome1202]

Interesting video. We are just saling this part of the Irish coast. I think we were in almost the same spot in Kinsale. The forts are Charles and James. We are in Kinsale and planning to anchor off Rosslare tomorrow, but in hardly any wind! Full of admiration for your solo sail.👏👏👏

Nice videos!!
What kind of keel do you have?

[@rimasmeleshyus9486]

Amazing beautiful sailing episode, congratulations. Greetings from beautiful tropical paradise island Kauai, Hawaii. Wishing you fear winds and following seas 🌊 ⛵️ and wonderful adventures

[@leefox7777]

Thanks again Sam another great video .

[@3deadrise6]

Well done Sam, thank you for sharing.

[@moffey2354]

That was an excellent video mate, and as a fellow hurley 22 owner I know and feel the cramped conditions your in but what an adventure you must be having.
Keep the video coming I look forward to every addition, fair winds bud sorry weather must be a bit crappie.

Good episode, really got the feeling of frustration at the headland not arriving, I remember spending a whole day trying to beat past Brighton once, it just went on forever!

[@navegandomivandestadt34]

Brilliant!

[@williambell8282]

Perhaps you could make a stew or something when you are in a harbour and then heat it up when you need it?

[@samsails9820]

I've started making larger meals in lights airs or before leaving port. Usually lasts a 24 hour trip.

[@paulwilliams3494]

A great log of your trip so far, you have given a very natural and down to earth record with a seemingly very relaxed but acutely aware account of the challenges. Best wishes for the remainder of the trip, looking forward to the videos. Thank you. Your motor seems to do well, what is it please? ............Oh and I would suggest spring washers above a flat washer if possible or a proper lock nut which is probably the best option room allowing............Nylock are ok but not always 100%....

[@samsails9820]

Thanks👍, i'll revisit some of these fixings. Thanks for watching

[@williamtownsend3279]

It's an epic sail! I'm really enjoying your videos.

[@samsails9820]

Thanks for watching

[@stuartburnside1333]

I wouldn't be rushing over to Belfast - its been pouring down here solidly for weeks!! 😭

[@sailing554]

Well if you ever come round to greenock marina where we are ill have a beer with u.

[@samsails9820]

Sounds good, will keep in mind, thanks for watching. 😎

[@johnryan2193]

Great journal of the passage. I am dreaming of circumnavigate Ireland but I am not sure if my boat is suitable. It's a foxcub 18 .any advice you could give? P.s. have you tried sheet to tiller self steering ?

[@samsails9820]

If you want to do it, then do it. In terms of suitability I know that a hurley 18 has just crossed the atlantic west to east, I've also heard of a supertanker that ran aground on wolf rock recently and required assistance. The definition of suitability in the boating world is based on three factors in my opinion, preparation, weather, and ability. Thanks for watching 😎

[@sumobear2031]

You put me to shame, you go around the UK and i potter around the harbour, although i actually made it up to your mooring last week, but was soon back in Hamford water. I can only conclude that the 22 is a better sea boat than the 22R, that or there's a slim chance that you're a better sailor than me!!!!!!!!! Alchemy
