Nice pictures, where are the marina and dried out shots taken from? I
hope to be visiting your area this spring/summer so any advice on where
to Anchor/tie up for the night would be gratefully received.

Regards,

Ray,

Dried out shot taken at Slip at Kilmore Quay Marina. Its free to dry out and very sheltered and safe. A very cheap way to spend a night or two, but dont tell anyone!!
There are three Vegas at Kilmore, will post more photos soon. One is very interesting, owned and fitted out by an ex fisherman Jackie Connick, with bowsprit, Radar, and full safety bars over cockpit and cabin top. Perhaps not beautiful, but, in his words, he has to be able to go to sea in all weather safely. Powered by a 3 cylinder Beta 20 hp and folding prop, he is also very fast sailing and motoring.

Kilmore is well worth a visit except from mid July until mid August when it can be very busy,

Best wishes,

Nigel, Eager Vega, V3314.

Nigel,
Thanks for sharing the pictures. Your boat looks really good. Also,
interesting shot of 'Wild Tyme' with the bowsprit. I'd like to learn
more about that setup!

Peter,

I am in the process of uploading more pics. The bowsprit is now a lot stronger, unfortunately I dont think I have any closeups.
Cheers,

Nigel.
