Beautiful commentary and photography of such special places. 💕

[@davidtaylor5394]

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

[@harryadams5651]

Beautiful evocative record of your voyage. Thank you

[@steviewalk]

Brilliant, Ed. You have the knack of allowing us to be right there with you! Thank you yet again.

[@carolynmurray2563]

Thank you for showing me where my ancestors roamed. My grandmom Bridget Hynes Whiffen married John Whifffen in St. Kyrans.

[@marthaodriscoll6715]

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

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. It was my first time over there but I wish I had to walk around with pop to learn more about it. Confederation killed Newfoundland and I am the grandson who feels the sorrow and shame that the Newfoundlanders fell for the government game.

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

[@dipeachio6832]

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 😊

[@frankm.oleary138]

Spectacular video, Ed ! Sailor & historian, poet, patriot and videographer, few can rival Ed for his love of the history and heritage of our island home. Besides the lovely video work, and drone footage, and the polished editing, I love the way Ed is able to infuse a lyrical and romantic tone to the overall flavour.

[@Family-Meera]

A moving collection of these mesmerizing places that still have songs in their hills. My dad is a Lake from Oderin. We go back every summer…it is the place I feel most grounded. When Katrine said that her heart was full after her visit, my heart soared…I know that feeling so well. ❤

[@OutdoorWarrior]

My grandfather was also a lake but he came from St. Kyrans. He told me that 3 lake brothers came from Ireland and settled around Placentia bay.

[@anthonyrandell]

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.

[@EdOReilly]

thank you Anthony.

[@mvweebles3483]

Wow!!! Nicely done. "My heart is full."

[@phonse62]

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.

[@EdOReilly]

Thank you Wayne. Your comments are appreciated!

[@kellypinsent9388]

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

[@EdOReilly]

Thank you so much Kelly! I’ll be back at it this summer! Headed to Innsbruck for a little sling!

[@adventurousboat8724]

Always excellent. Thanks Ed.

[@Vagabond1209]

Thank you for sharing this adventure, Ed. I’ve fantasized about exploring the south coast in a comfortable motorsailer, and you’ve sharpened my appetite.

[@Squarekn0t]

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.

[@EdOReilly]

wow! thank you for this!

[@Keepinyoungdiggin]

Great video Ed. Hope to visit Hr. Buffett some day.

[@DaleClements]

Excellent!

[@waynestokes9046]

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.

[@EdOReilly]

Please do Wayne and thank you.

[@mrHBarry]

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

[@EdOReilly]

Oh the Pressure!

[@danielculpepper8772]

Absolutely beautiful and heartfelt. Thank you for adding joy to my day.

[@EdOReilly]

I am happy I helped make your day!

[@SchoonerIssuma]

Another great video, Ed! It's so nice to see the beautiful montages of that lovely area, with the historical and personal references so smoothly worked in. I watched your video with my crew in Africa, and they're very impressed and saying they want to visit Newfoundland!

[@EdOReilly]

Thank you Sir! Where are you these days?

[@SchoonerIssuma]

@@EdOReilly I'm in Cape Verde, getting ready to sail back across the Atlantic in the Trade Winds (I left Newfoundland in July).

[@DaveOKeefe-gu9vq]

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

[@mmullaley3006]

Really nice job. I'm taking my girl Odyssey, a C&C 30 home this summer. My grandfather ran rum from St Pierre to Boston during prohibition, Dad was 13, uncle Cyril was 7, they were from Little Harbour. I wasn't allowed near a boat as a kid... mom's law! She was from Petite Forte. I'll be visiting many ports. I'm solo on this one, actually, I've been solo on the excursions of the past 24 yrs as no else handles the boat. Lol... Anyway, You have handed me a few "must see spots". I know a Mullaley lived in Oderin as well. There aren't many, but all Mullaley in North America, and close spelling are close cousins...a good lot of them hit here first in Placentia Bay.

[@vileyd]

My mother was born in Harbour Buffett and my parents were married in Oderin. This is a lovely video. Thank you for sharing.

[@vileyd]

I'm a Lake as well 😊 Placentia Bay is a beautiful place. My home.❤

[@EdOReilly]

Thank you!

[@joaniewhyte]

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!!!

[@EdOReilly]

It is an interesting place that was the centre for commerce for many years. Unfortunately, my drone stopped working while we were in Jersey Harbour, so I was disappointed I didn't get any drone shots! It is a very beautiful place and so many people came up to us when we were at anchor to have a chat. It was very touching.

[@elainesullivan3176]

Great job Ed!

[@IStink3]

Thank you Ed!

[@toddnicholls3138]

Just discovered your channel Ed, fanstaistc. Just returned from Placentia on my own boat to NS. This was was my 5th trip to NL. I go every summer and hopefully many more to come. I can see I need to get a drone!

[@harbourdogNL]

What a magnificent video! Happy it showed up in my feed, and have subscribed. Your drone footage is worthy of Erik Aanderaa! And your material is well assembled, adding the historical images for a 'then and now' perspective is really valuable. One of my dreams is to spend a summer circumnavigating NL, it couldn't be anything other than fabulous. I'm clewing up a Day Skipper course, if you're looking for an extra hand any time, even a day sail in winter, I'm up for it. Greetings from Petty Harbour.

[@EdOReilly]

Thank you Harbour Dog!

[@lloydbrown9327]

Great video..I plan on sailing there soon.

[@KatherineCrosbie]

Very cool. Thanks for sharing. My Mom was a Keeping from Sagona and my husband and I and our two young children made it there from Harbour Breton. We hitched a ride aboard Tiny Bubbles captained by Vince Snook who used to live on the island. Made the connection at Sunny Cottage as he was there playing the guitar for some folks from the care home as I recall. Amazing to visit the place I had heard so many stories about. Would love to go back on a visit to Newfoundland but it is a long drive to Harbour Breton and a long boat ride from Fortune! And iffy weather.

[@EdOReilly]

It's beautiful place! Thank you for your comments

[@onewomanswhisky]

My partner and I had the good fortune to have business at Memorial University back in 2018. We took an extra couple of weeks to wander the southern part of the island. It is truly a magical place. The landscapes and coastlines spoke to our hearts in a way that was completely unexpected. Our plan is to return this coming year or the next. There's so much to see and experience, and we know we barely touched the tip of it all. We won't likely get the chance to explore quite as closely as you have the opportunity to do, but we will still feel privileged to be able to visit such an extraordinary place. We found the reference to your travel documentaries on the Land and Sea program. Thank you for sharing! Cheers Ed... Marian 🇨🇦

[@EdOReilly]

Thank You Marian. It is a special place!

[@mathpied]

Great video! I’m planning on a trip there this summer

[@EdOReilly]

you'll love it! Thank you for watching the video!!

[@derekbanfield2748]

T-y Ed… wonderful!

[@EdOReilly]

Thanks Derek! Hope all is well with you1!

[@ivanj.conway9919]
