Well, our Irish hour is drawign nearer, and I am brushing up my once-refined but now oxidized skills at docking, anchoring, line handling and such. I think it will be lovely and exciting, and I hope not too chilly along the Shannon and the Shannon-Erne going easterly from Leitrim. Really, what a thrill! :D

I hope there will be pubs a plenty that might welcome a passing balladeer, or even where one may hear others of like ilk.

I believe the Like Ilk is indigenous to Ireland in the first place.
