  • Grey skies and ragged, wind-lashed waves follow us almost to the end. But was we approach the southwest coast of Ireland, she greets us with cheerful blue skies and moderate winds.

    King Neptune didn't give you any credit for your past experience during those last 200 miles. That feeling of fatigue will miraculously disappear, and then be forgotten as soon as you get a Guinness into you. Brilliant sail Kevin.

      Thanks Patrick, no, seems Neptune was not in a generous mood, but at least I got nice weather for the last 20 miles. Enjoying my stay here in Kinsale, soon it will be time to head south and then west to the Caribbean.

    Epic passage my friend! Simply epic.
    Willing to bet Kevin's trip was the only single handed, engineless, gaff rigged voyage in decades. To have video of the effort will stand as a reminder of what sailing was like and what it has become.
    Thanks for keeping it all in perspective.

    I passed the Fastnet rock one Sunday evening in late September 1995 on my 27ft sloop going the other way heading to NW Spain. The North Atlantic done its level best to smash me with SW gales and monstrous seas. 10 days later I crawled into Bayona in Galicia. Downed a couple of 6 packs as a pick me up. The North Atlantic ocean at any time of year is a cruel sea and tests one to the limit. 3 years later I arrived in Whangarei, New Zealand looking like something the cat dragged in. One hell of a pub crawl.....Good luck on your venturesome voyages.

    It was awhile ago now, on one of Patrick Lane’s videos, he mentioned Kevin Boothby, and I have followed your journey since.
    It’s a great feeling when you reach your destination and your first human interaction (especially after 33 days, 9 hours!) as we can all see when you raise your arm and wave 👋 at the dinghy coming your way to greet you!!
    Epic trip! Safe trip! I cannot wait to see where the wind and seas take you next.
    All the best Richard 👍🏼🇬🇧

    This little hop across the Atlantic was presented in such a no bullshit way. I really appreciated the simplicity of the sail, the captaincy and the skills to do it. you don't need a mega yacht, or a plastic fantastic either. A simple gaff cutter does the job...Doesn't it...

      @theeaskey 4 года назад +1

      When I was a young man I fished off the West coast of ireland, even in summer time it can be a unforgiving piece of ocean,,, I sometimes dream of those mountains of waves rolling in from the open north west ocean,it left me with a healthy respect for the sea and the brave souls that sail it, ,they are definitely the 2% ers, crazy and driven,,

    Who would dislike this video? What a great example of an adventurer taking on the sea. All the preparation before hand to get the vessel ready for the journey. All the planning and hard work to set off into the unknown and BE READY for it. Maybe they expected some CGI and explosions? Losers will always hate, I guess.

    • @joekavanagh5708

      Cínte, Glenans, the sorely missed French sailing school had a base there. They forbade the use of engine on their boats, unless a dangerous situation arose.
      I sculled ~3 miles up the Kenmare river on a Glenans 25ft sloop. It's great to see Kevin keeping up the tradition.
