Thank you so much for posting. I own V3361 here in Charleston, SC USA. You are my big brother. Our boats are near identical to the blue upholstery in the saloon and placement of the compass. Well done.

[@eagerv]

Thanks Manning Harvey, good to hear from you. I just need new canvas gear and she will be near perfect.

Thanks John, my first proper attempt at editing. I think I will have to update my computer and software shortly. I think my computer still has valves!

[@mjcooke2sailingmostly]

That was a tight squeeze between those rocks! I'd like to stop there someday, thanks for showing the anchorage, I saw no obvious place, (I don't have the ICC pilots.) Thanks for calling by my channel too. I did see your previous Saltee videos some time ago.

[@eagerv]

Yes a great sandy cove at the back of the Gt Saltee with great shelter if the wind between west and north east but often a bit of a sw swell coming in. Great in settled weather.

[@santamulligan676]

Always enjoy this trip

[@eagerv]

Cheers

Last May I took a class at my school in the States that had me staying at WIT in Waterford for 2 weeks. For one whole day, we went to the Saltee Islands to walk around and experience the scenery. It was absolutely incredible, and honestly has to be one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen in my life to this point... but seeing Kilmore Quay in the state it's currently in made me quite sad.

[@eagerv]

Glad you enjoyed the Saltees. Yes it's a beautiful place. I don't live in Kilmore Quay, but just wondering what you see is the problem with the village ? The council have pumped a lot of money into it over the last number of years. Cheers and best wishes, Nigel.

[@karolyscholl3552]

Great! I own V1306 in Hungary and hope that in the future I can try my Vega on the same route. Greetings!

[@eagerv]

Hello Karoly. Thank you. Hope you can make it over here some day...

[@cgood1380]

Well done Nigel, brilliant footage :-)

[@eagerv]

Thanks Wifey !

[@sailingceltic1911]

Nice video, well put together, I sailed their last myself and can't wait to go back. What does it cost to keep your boat their ? CHEERS T.J.

[@eagerv]

Hi T.J. Thanks for comment, glad you liked. Liked your videos as well. Great cause. I have a small berth in Kilmore Quay. Great marina, costs about €1800 for the year. Cheers..

[@sailingceltic1911]

Thanks, I am look at putting a mooring in at Youghal, I would say their is a waiting list for Kilmore

[@eagerv]

Yes always a big waiting list, but sometimes a specific size berth becomes available. With boats getting bigger everyone wants the bigger berths. Worth putting your name down, just contact harbour office. I always liked Youghal, best wishes whatever you decide..

[@richardbird6945]

Hi Nigel. Do you still have your Vega? I want to buy one, so maybe you know any available?

[@eagerv]

Hi Richard, yes still have Eager Vega. 18 years now but need to spend a few bob on her this winter. New Engine on order and new canvas gear. Always a few for sale, check the ads..
