- 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.
Looking forward to your next adventure, Patrick!
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.
@@howtosailoceans1423 Looking forward to that!
@@howtosailoceans1423 Ach thought you might have came up to Scotland Kevin :(:(:(
Both of you are very inspiring sailors!!
"When boats were made of wood and men were made of steel." Great series across the Atlantic!
Truer words were never spoken!! The Mossback Sailor.
And family court was in the planning stage....
…the jerky was hard and the women were soft.
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.
Tom Waite well put, you took the words right out of my mouth
That could be. Tim and Pauline Carr sailed Curlew until around 2005 if I recall. Probably there are some others we just don't hear about.
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.
What a lovely welcome! First the local dolphins, then the local humans! Thanks for taking the time to bring us all along.
Wow, I got teary eyed when you pulled into the anchorage. Thanks for taking me along on this passage.
It was quite the journey. Good to have you onboard.
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.
I love watching a ‘real sailor on a real boat’. You rock man! That is a real crossing complete with bell and boom cradle. Epic stuff. Nothing plastic fantastic about this one.
Welcome to Europe - Quite the adventure, while it was never in doubt you would arrive, the jeopardy in your videos was plain to see. A fantastic demonstration of how to sail oceans, congratulations
I kept on holding my breath during riding those waves. Wow.
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 👍🏼🇬🇧
Congratulations on reaching Ireland!!! You give all of us hope to follow our dreams!!!! Thank you!
How nice of someone to come out to meet you! Welcome to Ireland!
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...
And That's how it's It's done folks...!! A Master Class series Kevin. Thank you sir.
Ruth Avery is my favorite of all the CZcams sailing content creators vessels.
Thank you for this :)
YES!!!!!! And I love that you were greeted by a fan!!!! I waited all season to binge watch these videos 😊
Congrats... Truly inspirational to this "old" sailor. I saw you when you anchored behind South Beach here in Miami. Since I started following you (a year ago) you have inspired me to once again "sail the oceans" boat prep is underway waiting out the storm season here in South Florida... thank you, you have insured my life against growing old ... 😎#theBaldGorilla
You sir are a true inspiration,, when so many people are sitting on their hands talking about things they must do , You actually go out and do it, you have my respect and admiration,,i hope my people treated you well,, now how are you going to get back,,
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,,
Rather a big nod to all those who lost their lives in the 1979 fastest race as far as I'm aware, it started on this day in that year! Brilliant series of videos keep up the great work.
Yes, if I recall they left on the 11th, and the storm hit the night of the 13th.
What an epic trip!
Nice weather and sunshine for your arrival at Fastnet Rock. Great welcome to Ireland and good to have a visitor as well on your arrival. Now time for a pint or three. Oh yea. Congratulations on a tough crossing of the North Atlantic and safe arrival. You can toast Ruth for protecting you. Fair winds Kevin.
Congratulations
Thanks so much for bringing me along. Truly a wonderful series of videos that had me riveted in place but at the same fully aware I was watching a master in his element.
Congratulations Skipper!
Well done, Kevin! I’m just at a loss for words. Thanks for sharing your voyage and your arrival. There should be a big smile on anyone’s face, who sees this video. Happy for you, man!
Awesome trip. TY for sharing!
Congratulations Captain.
Kevin,
In this world of ... Crazy... it was so very good , like a breath of fresh air to be able to see and watch you on your epic journey east across the the vast Atlantic . Thank you so much for sharing.

KEVIN: It would be fantastic to hear you sing at open mic in an Irish pub with a Guinness next to you. Thanks for the last six episodes - a Sailors Sailor!
Wow! You just blow me away, Kevin. You truly are a salty sea-dog. Well done! Congratulations on a Passage well made.
Congratulations!!! I think it's wonderful that a subscriber had come out to meet you upon your arrival.
A prolific voyage across the Atlantic comes to a joyous conclusion, yet the journey continues...........👍 👍 What could "Brother Boothby" be planning next? Perhaps a trip around "the Horn?" Who knows? Whatever it may be, I have no doubt it will be a gripping and exciting adventure! Stay tuned!!!!
Congratulations on a successful crossing Kevin! You are a true inspiration to this novice sailor! I always tell myself I have a sailboat first, motor boat second and think what would Boothby do under many circumstances I may encounter! Thanks!!
Wonderful! Congratulations.
It's awesome good fellows came to meet you.
WEII DONE. Looking forward to the follow up...lessons learned, mistakes, status of food-water-equipment.
CONGRATULATIONS !
Amazing, thanks for the journey Kevin. Great to see someone coming out to meet you "...she looks beautiful" :) love it
CONGRATULATIONS BIG MAN WELL DONE
Very Impressed sir.
Another fantastic video, really enjoyed it. Well done for the hardship, but I am sure a few pints of Guinness later, you thought it was all worth it. Glad you made it safely & as always, looking forward to your next video, cheers, Simon,
Well done Kevin in every way! Glad you made it safely and thank you so much for having us along. Awesome sail my man!
Well done Kevin 👍
Congratulations , Nice passage !
Great journey kevin way to go i really enjoyed it cheers.
well done my friend well done ..
What a trip , Maith on fear , Chaoimhin..! (good man Kevin -in Gaelic ).Hope the Algiers was open for pint .I learned to sail in a small school in Baltimore in 85.
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.
Fantastic achievement Kevin, hats off to you! I'm sure our Irish friends have you a very warm and liquid welcome.
Congrats on safe crossing.
Fastnet Rock sure is an iconic place, congratulations mate!
What a trip thanks for letting us live it with you!
well done mate, respect and congrats.. and thx for sharing, what a fantastic trip
Sweet, love it!

Bravo Zulu Kevin. A trip to remember
Congratulations!
Congradulations! I got emotional on seeing your arrival. Truly well done.
Congratulations, and well done! I can just imagine your sense of achievement when the Irish mainland showed up as a blue smudge on the horizon. Thanks for taking us with you on this adventure!
So happy for you and your successful journey across the pond!
Good to have you onboard, Ray.
Congrats on a successful voyage!
your safe arrival was never in doubt, but so pleased to see you arrive in Ireland and a little sad that this youtube adventure is over. more, much more please
Loved the welcome party and the view of Fastnet. Well Done!
Enjoyed the entire account of the voyage across the N. Atlantic from prep to passing Fastnet. Love your traditional approach to sailing and the way you take care of the boat- never pushing to point of breaking something.
Great stuff mate,well done :)
A fine voyage, enjoyed the sailing vessel you chose to make the passage. As you entered Irish waters I thought of my home in Donegal many years ago.
What a fantastic achievement Kevin...Well done. You’re a fantastic sailor and live life to the full. What are your plans? I can’t wait for your next episode.
You are amazing!
You are so under rated. Going on record in the hopes it draws in more viewers/subscribers.
