Sailing west coast Ireland and Scotland , Azores and Canaries

I am currently moored for the winter in Kilrush marina on the west coast of Ireland. In April I will let go the mooring ropes and continue cruising again. I will explore this west coast of Ireland a bit more. Mainly going north and even visit west Scotland. Then my plan is to go south to the Azores by the end of August or beginning of September. After a few weeks cruising the Azores I continue to Madeira and the Canary islands . Then there is a big chance that for the fourth time I will cross the Atlantic west to east.
greetings from skipper Eelco

Who I am ? I am a long time live aboard . I bought Mylady at the end of 1991 and made many miles with her. I never owned a house or car only my boat who is my floating , move able house . I stayed 11 years in the south west Pacific. While there I also visited Australia including Tasmanie. The last few years I was on the east coast of the USA , Nova Scotia and south coast of Newfoundland . In the winters I explored the Bahamas and this last winter a little part of the south Caribbean. Since June 2025 I am on the west coast of Ireland .

On my website sailmylady.wordpress.com you find under the tab “Blog “stories about my adventures, “About “ tells you more about the boat including pictures and “Skipper “ is about myself.

I am looking for a female sailing companion. Any experience is not necessary, I can learn you all there is regarding sailing the sea and this yacht is a good boat for it. Nearly all the work that has to be done on the boat I do myself and also this knowledge I am can pass on. The costs of living will be shared any other costs regarding the boat are for the skipper.

If you are interested in sailing aboard Mylady just contact my and we go from there.
A romance is not where I am after. Just a (preferable but not necesarry long term) sailing companion.

Boat descriptionMy boat is a real sailing boat. Yes not a yacht she is a boat but one that is far the last 34 years good to my and together we sailed the seven seas in all those years and made more then 100.000 nautical miles. The boat sails perfect in any condition. I live aboard since I bought her in 1992. Never owned a house or car. All the normal instruments are on board and working oke. But there is no Iridium or starlink on board but an SSB with a pactor modem. The normal safety gear is on board. In the front is a guest cabin good for one person. There are no other cabins The skipper sleeps in the saloon. There is a good new 2 marine cooker with grill and oven . There is a 40 ltr coolbox.
