River Dolphins in...IRELAND?...What a Sailing Adventure can Reveal!

In this fifth instalment to the B.A.S channel you can join myself and Ush on our Sailing Adventure as we navigate the remainder of the River Shannon, mooring by an old castle and sailing to an "exotic" island in the middle of Galway Bay. We encounter many dolphins in unusual circumstances. Irelands Coast does not Disappoint!

such a beautiful video!! Your voice is so nice to listen to 😊 I absolutely ADORE the underwater dolphin shots! I would love to see that myself once 🎉 You’re doing a great job Sean! Each video you upload gets better and better. Very cinematic and beautiful experience.

awwwweee thanks :)

Hi Sean, I’m so happy to have stumbled across this video. Great content! You were my sister’s and I Vagabond tour guide in 2022. I remember you talked about your dream of sailing. Happy you fixed up your boat and get to do what you love. I hope you make it to California one of these days!

[@becomingasailor]

@@galina328 hey how are you? Thanks so much and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I have big plans for sailing so who knows, I might make it across to the Pacific Coast 😜

[@jasonbyrne7168]

Great video showing our beautiful waterways and coasts. Makes me want to go sailing! Looking forward to the next one!😀

[@becomingasailor]

Thanks, the waterways and coast are amazing

[@neilwhoriskey9389]

Great video. Wonderful footage, including underwater. Amazing to see those dolphins going along for the ride with you. Looking forward to the next instalment.

[@becomingasailor]

@@neilwhoriskey9389 thanks Neil. I'll try not wait so long this time

[@markclark6771]

Wonderful footage - the editing and image quality are much improved over your previously posted videos. I particularly enjoyed the underwater dolphin footage. It was magical! I also liked your honesty about how you see the unsafe practices you used to follow. Learning comes only when we recognize what we need to improve, and your sharing your insights hopefully will prevent someone else from doing something they regret. Thanks so much for posting. I have been looking forward to seeing the next video in this series. I am stuck inside right now caring for my mother after she broke her hip, and your images help me to imagine myself roaming again soon. Fair winds and following seas to you now and in the future.

[@becomingasailor]

Thanks for the comment and im happy you enjoyed it. Its good to learn from mistakes and try to improve

[@johnnee5989]

New subscriber as of yesterday! What a treat to catch up with such an excellent video, it’s been a long 7months but certainly worth the wait! Kindest regards from deepest Dorset, so looking forward to the next instalment 👍

[@becomingasailor]

Glad to hear, thanks for the subscription

[@MrClambug]

Awesome 😯

[@becomingasailor]

Thanks!

[@charlesmartel5735]

Great work on the videography. Maybe just me, but I'd love to see/learn more about the ancient Christian sites.

[@becomingasailor]

@@charlesmartel5735 thanks very much. I made this with old footage so I didn't really focus on anything specific but I agree with you, it is fascinating and you can throw a stone in any direction in Ireland and jt will hit some old Christian relic.

[@becomingasailor]

If you enjoy this video show some love and like/subscribe/comment ... I read and reply to all the comments and it really warms my heart when I read a nice one as these videos take a crazy amount of work to edit ( I'm not the most efficient editor!)

Fantastic! It’s a very exciting time, buying your first ship and becoming acquainted with her. Thanks for sharing! Fair winds!

Great video once again. I can't wait to explore the Irish coastline when I finally take my Leisure 23 over the Irish sea from Wales. Lovely shots of the dolphins swimming off your bow (can't wait to experience it myself one day). Keep at it Sean, looking forward to your next video. Stay safe, Nick

[@becomingasailor]

@@sailing_mak_daddy thanks for the lovely comment, you will have a great time here I'm sure.

[@rodhodgson5878]

Hi Sean, it seems we are only custodians of our boats before they either pass to their next owner or languish and perish tied up to a dock. Yours is lucky to have found you to save her from that fate. We will watch with interest as you bring her back to the condition she deserves so that she can serve you well in your travels. We have watched each of your videos this evening and are impressed with the progress you’ve made. Greetings from Australia, we look forward to following your journey.

​@becomingasailor Happy new year. I've just had another look at your videos as I have a boat on Lough Derg, which will be getting the TLC it needs over the coming months before following your path down the Shannon. Planning to sail around the south coast and on to Dun Laoghaire in time for the summer. Looking forward to following your journey this year too.
