couple of weeks ago, I mentioned following the 140ish Fighting Irish thru the Georgia ICW... it's pretty rare to see large yachts running that section of the ditch which is rather shallow in some spots unless you play the tide. here are some pictures... needless to say the captain was extremely courteous when passing other boats.

pretty crazy with a boat that size in a channel/ditch system i haven't heard from the ICW -till last week, i read a documentation of a german sailing from ft. lauderdales north about 700 miles up north no my question is: what clearance does the bridges have? or are those most likely swing bridges?

NYCAP123 Senior Member

Once you get north of St. Augustine they're mostly 55 or 65' except for the sisters in Mayport. So. Carolina would be a nightmare with that boat. only a couple of low bridges, but the traffic & docks would keep him down to 4 kts. Other than that it's clear cruising until North Landing (NC) through Norfolk. That 1st shot shows quite a bow wake as she's approaching that boat. That radio probably crackled. My guess would be she'll head outside at Mayport avoiding that open ocean shortcut from Charleston to Ft. Pierce if the seas are still kicking up.

let me get a few things clear... the captain was, as expected, very professional and never waked anyone. he'd approach the slower boat then cut down to slow idle to pass with almost no wake. there is no point in slowing down to early anyway. RAM only apply to vessel restricted in their ability to maneuver due to the nature of their work. ex. dredging, diving operation, etc... the larger the boat, the smaller the wake at low speed... ie... a 140 footer will throw a smaller wake at 6kts than a 40 footer... as to sailboats not responding to slow pass request on 16? wrong... id' say 80% of them are on 16, reply and slow down to allow you to pass them at minimum wake. The shallowest spot in that stretch of the ICW (Savannah to Brunswick/St Simmons) is about 6' at low tide. The tides in GA average 6' so by playing the tides you can get a good cushion... I draw 6'+ on the Johnson 70 and had no issue. Jannick, the ICW is an incredible resource. it's about 1000NM from Norfolk VA to Miami, FL. speed/wake wise, 95% is unrestricted north of Palm Beach. There are a few low bridges but they either open on demand or on a published schedule (every half hour usually) so it's real easy to time your arrival. The only issue is depth due to insuficient dredging. the ICW used to be moslty a commercial waterway but with barge traffic on the decline, it's not as well maintained as it used to be. so even in areas where you could run on plane, it's often prudent to run at 9 to 10kts... Personally I love running the ditch. it depends on the schedule... if you want to save fuel money and run at 10kts, it makes sense. if fuel cost isn't a concern and you want to run 25 kts then you're better off running outside.

For the few boats that don't monitor their radios on the ICW a gentle sound signal always works. The killer sections of the ICW for anything more than an express are around Carolina Beach (There's also some bad shoals in that area) and from Southport through the pontoon bridge. Too many docks to damage forcing you to run at about 4 kts. Unless it's a pleasure cruise outside from Beaufort to Charleston is the way to go (weather permitting) as it saves a day. Same for the shot from Charleston to St. Augustine or Mayport. This year's been blowing up though.

"From Beaufort North to Coinjock, I avoid the ICW and run albermarle sound," I think you're referring to Pamlico Sound then into Albemarle. Personally I prefer Alligator River to Albemarle as Pamlico tends to kick up and you only lose a couple of hours. Beaufort to Norfolk on the inside is almost mandatory. That's Cape Hattaras. Did the outside there in a gale once...not twice. "I've also been stopping at Golden Isles if I can make it further then St. Aug, or Fernandina.....it's a nice easy stop." Melissa is a good dockmaster there, and they now have a good restaurant. We recently tried to make Charleston to St. Augustine, but the seas weren't co-operating. Most of the boats that left with us headed into Hilton Head. We pushed on to St. Simon which put us within range of Daytona on the inside. Watch that inlet in a cross wind though. Bad stuff on both sides (channel is good though) and it's a long entrance.

Codger YF Wisdom Dept.

Great photos. Thinking that if I were the owner I'd be enjoying the trip and patting myself on the back for paying someone else to be doing the driving and worrying about draught and bridge schedules.

Yeah I've been running Pamlico to Albermarle and haven't had any issues with it kicking up (most I've seen was 2ft seas in there). Most of the yachts I run don't have any issues with 4' seas or so (which is the most I could imagine it kicking up in there.) But, it's a nice easy run where you can have the boat on autopilot and pretty much watch everything. Speaking of that area, has anyone run through Schoolhouse channel (from Pamlico to Oregon inlet?) I have never attempted it because I've heard the markers shift constantly. Some other of my favorite stops on the way up are, Ocean City, Rudee inlet (just north of Ocean city) is real easy with a marina just inside the inlet, Manasquan inlet...... Cape May...... Beaufort is good, so is the one where Bald head island/southport is......

I am the skipper on Fighting Irish and am a supporter of Yacht Forums. Nice photographs, please send more. We ran the ditch for three days from Savannah, GA to Ponce Inlet with little or no problem. We are 145' LOA draw 7' and have a 28' beam. A lot of my colleagues were in disbelief that we were able to run inside for that long. With fair tides, good charts, competent helmsmen and a reliable depth sounder, it is straightforward. There are numerous misconceptions about the ICW - controlling depths, bridges, hillbillies, disgruntled sail boaters, etc. Run the ICW for a few days and you will understand just how close knit the boating community is. I am surprised at how many boaters thanked me for slowing down. Courtesy is karma. Just because we are big doesn't allow us to be irresponsible. The ICW is a wonderful way to truly see the east coast and get a feel for the various rich cultures. It is also a good way to make progress while avoiding nasty weather, which is exactly what we were doing. Cheers for the good words, safe travels.

well said. I consider the ICW a great resource not to be missed if schedule allows, it's very scenic and really not a big deal. sorry i didn't get more pictures that's in part because i was alone on the boat and it's a skylounge. obviously pictures dont' come out very well thru glass and these narrow stretches are the wrong place to leave the helm to take pictures! it was an impressive sight! I cant' believe you "only" draw 7'.. i draw a good 6' at only 70'! i can email you the high res pics if you want, email me your address to pascal -a-t- yachtcharmer.com

The origins of Notre Dame’s name - why the Fighting Irish are the Fighting Irish

A squat man wearing a green and yellow suit, complete with a square hat, and pointed shoes raises his arms in a fighting stance. His bushy eyebrows like his beard are fierce. He is not the type of guy you want to meet alone in an alley or alone anywhere. As any college football fan could tell you this is the mascot of the University of Notre Dame, the Fighting Irish. But exactly are the “Fighting Irish”? How did this name come to be and Why is this mascot so angry are questions that need to be answered. The name Fighting Irish finds its origins in the Anti-Catholic sentiment facing the Irish immigrants of the early 19th century. Being that the majority of the first Irish immigrants were catholic they were congruous in the minds of the puritans at the time. The Irish faced oppression in the forms of ”Irish need not apply” signs in help wanted ads and chants of “Irish go home.” The term fighting Irish was a slur in New England during this period. The school has thus embraced this underdog status and has used it as a badge of honor to represent “everyone who suffers from discrimination; to everyone who has an uphill fight for the elemental decencies, and the basic Christian principles woven into the texture of our nation”, according to Dorothy V. Corson in her essay “ Why the Fighting Irish. ”

Guinness secret revealed: Why do bubbles go down instead of up?

The top ten Notre Dame Fighting Irish defensive players – VIDEOS & POLL -------------------

The University of Notre Dame was established in November 26th, 1842. Its Irish tradition grew around the college’s location. It was the first major Catholic college, founded by Holy Cross brothers, in the midwest with access to such major cities as Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, and Milwuakee. To this day 80 percent of the undergrad population at the university is Catholic. Another origin of its nickname as applied to its football team established in 1887 has many theories. The school originally played under the name of the “Catholics” in the 1800s and the “Ramblers” in the 1920s. The team officially adopted its current moniker “The Fighting Irish” in 1927. The roots of its name run far deeper.

It is believed in a game in 1889 as the the Irish led the Northwestern away at halftime by the score of 5-0 the crowd got whipped in a frenzy screaming , "Kill the Fighting Irish, kill the Fighting Irish." Others cite a game in 1909 in which the Fighting Irish were losing at the half to Michigan. An incensed Notre Dame player trying to psych up his team called out some of his fellow Irish teammates. "What's the matter with you guys? You're all Irish and you're not fighting worth a lick." Notre Dame came back to win the game and the press picked up on the players feisty comments and thus dubbed the squad “The Fighting Irish”. The official reason for the name was printed in the journal The Notre Dame Scholastic in 1929 :  "The term 'Fighting Irish' has been applied to Notre Dame teams for years. It first attached itself years ago when the school, comparatively unknown, sent its athletic teams away to play in another city ...At that time the title 'Fighting Irish' held no glory or prestige ... -------------------

Mystery of the moving rocks off Irish island solved

"The years passed swiftly and the school began to take a place in the sports world ...'Fighting Irish' took on a new meaning. The unknown of a few years past has boldly taken a place among the leaders. The unkind appellation became symbolic of the struggle for supremacy of the field. ...The team, while given in irony, has become our heritage. ...So truly does it represent us that we unwilling to part with it ..." The leprechaun we know love and fear was not always the mascot for Notre Dame. The team for years was represented by an Irish terrier dog usually with the name Clashmore Mike. A relatively new invention the leprechaun was not introduced as the official face of the football team until 1965.  Notre Dame Fighting Irish today continues its fighting spirit today as the most dominant college football team in history on the verge of yet another bowl appearance this season.

Here's some footage of the 1975 team in action:

The Irish soldiers who trained a rogue general’s army in Libya

Departing and former members of the defence forces provided services to strongman khalifa haftar in an apparent breach of a un arms embargo.

Danny Cluskey, a former member of the Defence Forces, is a co-owner of Irish Training Solutions, a company that has been training the 166 Infantry Brigade of the self-styled Libyan National Army

Former members of the Defence Forces have been providing military training for the forces of Libyan strongman Khalifa Haftar in an apparent breach of a United Nations arms embargo, an Irish Times investigation has found.

From early 2023 Irish Training Solutions, run by former members of the elite Army Ranger Wing and Defence Forces, recruited departing and former Irish soldiers and flew them to Haftar-controlled Benghazi, where they worked as trainers alongside military veterans from other countries.

There they worked as contractors training the 166 Infantry Brigade of Haftar’s self-styled Libyan National Army, rivals to Libya ’s UN-recognised government in Tripoli, according to travel records and other documents, photos and footage, and the accounts of multiple people familiar with the situation who spoke to The Irish Times.

“We were teaching snipers. We had specialised snipers out to train them, we had mortars, reconnaissance, medical, machine gun support,” said one former soldier who worked in the operation and who spoke on condition of anonymity, having signed a non-disclosure agreement.

“It was basically part of Haftar’s army. What he wanted us to do was to take 150 troops and train them to be a special operations unit.” He said that several fellow trainers were former members of Ireland’s elite special forces Army Ranger Wing.

“The gig was sold that we were training a Libyan special forces unit. They wanted people of special forces background to do it.”

One person who flew out to work as a trainer in Libya was still enlisted as a member of the Defence Forces, according to three people familiar with the situation, while others had recently been discharged.

The provision of military training to forces in Libya has been banned under a UN arms embargo since 2011, which forbade “technical assistance, training, financial or other assistance, related to military activities” in a bid to stop the violent breakdown of the oil-rich country as it was torn apart by rival armed factions after the toppling of former leader Muammar Gadafy.

[  Explainer: Who is Khalifa Haftar and what is the UN arms embargo on Libya?  ]

The UN arms embargo forbids the provision of “arms and related materiel of all types”. The provision of “technical assistance, training or other assistance” is banned under EU restrictions too.

Three sources familiar with the situation said that Irish Training Solutions, based in Clara, Co Offaly, had brought in material with them to equip the Libyan trainee soldiers, such as gear and uniforms.

“It was helmets, body armour, shooters’ belts, boots and full MTP [multi-terrain pattern] uniforms, backpacks,” the former soldier who worked in the operation said.

The directors of Irish Training Solutions – incorporated as Irish Training Solutions (XSF) Limited – did not respond when asked repeatedly to explain how the training was not a breach of the UN arms embargo.

The contract of Irish Training Solutions was renewed for 2024 at a multimillion euro value, according to a person familiar with the arrangements. The 2023 contract offered payment in two tranches, both amounting to multimillion euro sums. The latest accounts for Irish Training Solutions show that it had just over €1 million in “cash and cash equivalents” at the end of March 2023 and made a profit of €738,088 in its 2023 financial year, compared with just €1,365 the previous year.

Backed by substantial financial resources, Haftar has been seeking to professionalise his forces to solidify control of eastern Libya and his position as challenger to the Tripoli government, bidding for wider international credibility beyond his support from Russian Wagner mercenaries, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates.

Wearing Tricolours and Army Ranger Wing patches

Images of the training show men in combats wearing Irish flag patches and the logo of Irish Training Solutions, sometimes alongside the black and yellow military badge of the Libyan National Army’s 166 Infantry Brigade.

Danny Cluskey (58), a well-connected former soldier who co-owns Irish Training Solutions, is pictured posing on an armoured vehicle while wearing the shoulder flash and insignia of his former unit the Army Ranger Wing, as well as an Irish flag patch and his company’s logo. A video shows Cluskey firing an AK47-type assault rifle among a group of men in fatigues.

“I have nothing to say about it,” Cluskey said when contacted by The Irish Times.

He declined to answer detailed questions that were put to him, or challenge any details of this story as they were explained. He did not respond to follow-up messages and calls.

Wearing Defence Forces uniform in irregular settings risks bringing Ireland’s military into disrepute, as well as the possibility it could endanger Irish forces deployed overseas as the State could be misunderstood to be fighting on one side of a conflict.

It would also cause a crisis for the State if a citizen irregularly wearing an Irish uniform were to be detained in a conflict overseas, according to defence sources.

“The Defence Forces is always disappointed if its former members act in a way that is at odds with our ethos and values,” a spokesman for the Defence Forces said.

The spokesman said that the discharge dates of individuals could not be confirmed due to data protection issues.

Members of the Defence Forces can sometimes accumulate substantial amounts of leave to use up before being formally discharged. Defence Forces authorities have previously had to step in to prevent members from moonlighting during their leave in private security roles overseas that clash with their army role. Departing soldiers remain bound by military law for six months after their discharge.

The situation in Libya runs contrary to Ireland’s participation in attempts to enforce the UN arms embargo. In the summer of 2023 as this training was taking place, the Defence Forces deployed the LÉ William Butler Yeats naval ship to patrol the waters off north Africa to prevent illicit weapons transfers under the joint EU mission Operation Irini.

UN member states, including Ireland, are obliged to enforce the arms embargo, which states that “all member states shall immediately take the necessary measures” to prevent the provision of military training or other assistance “from or through their territories or by their nationals”.

Any international private company active in Libya must check with their national authorities to ensure they are in compliance with their country’s rules on enforcing the embargo, according to UN guidance. There are exceptions only for humanitarian work, or if approved by a UN monitoring committee.

Tensions with Wagner

Images of the training seen by The Irish Times show men in fatigues shooting guns at targets in an outdoor firing range, aiming machine guns while lying on the ground, and practising the armed entry of an aeroplane.

Some photographs show men wearing the badge of Irish Training Solutions and Irish Tricolour patches, at times alongside the unit badge of the 166 Infantry Brigade of the Libyan National Army, of which Haftar is the general commander with his sons in powerful roles.

Cluskey was photographed signing papers at a desk in an office with the flag of Haftar’s Libyan faction hanging behind him. A nameplate on the desk reads “Brigadier Saddam Khalifa Haftar” in Arabic, the name of Haftar’s son and presumptive heir, considered to be a rising power in east Libya.

The trainers were given free rein over an area known as Chinatown, a sprawling complex of unfinished buildings that are a stalled megaproject from Gadafy’s time, according to people familiar with the situation. This area was used for training in close-quarters combat, assaults on houses, and room entry. The trainers also practised raids against drug smuggling.

The 2023 training course culminated in the performance of a military display attended by senior figures from the Libyan National Army, including the heir apparent Saddam Haftar.

Photographs of the occasion released by the Libyan National Army show 166 Infantry Brigade troops storming unoccupied buildings in a heavily-armed display as the dignitaries look on.

The Haftar faction enjoys a close relationship with Moscow, and has been given military support by Wagner group mercenaries, who remain present in key strategic points in the territory under its control.

On two occasions Wagner forces shot towards the Irish trainers – possibly viewing them as competition for military contracts – and on the second occasion an Irish Training Solutions contractor returned fire, according to a person who was present and another who was informed about the incident.

A company in Dubai

Irish Training Solutions, the company run by directors Cluskey, Darren Kelly (40) and Nigel McCormack (49) – all former Defences Forces personnel – recruited men with military experience offering them contracts that paid €300 a day to “provide training services” for a nine-month period, according to a copy of the contract.

McCormack, whose address in company records is in Clara, Co Offaly, and Kelly, whose address is given in Clogherhead, Co Louth, did not respond to repeated and detailed requests to comment on this story.

Starting in early 2023, the contractors were flown into Benghazi via Turkey and Spain, according to travel records.

Cluskey and other former Irish soldiers previously founded a company called Global Risk Solutions to provide private security training and consultancy in 2007 before going on to establish Irish Training Solutions in 2020, which describes itself as providing “education and training solutions for clients in Europe, the Middle East and Africa”. The acronym GRS was used to organise travel in early 2023, according to booking records. Global Risk Solutions changed ownership in the summer of last year, and both Cluskey and McCormack, previously the firm’s only directors, resigned in June 2023.

Part-way through the training programme, the source of salaries paid to trainers switched to a company called SOF Training in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, which contractors were told would offer tax benefits. Those working as trainers in Libya suspect that the change was made to avoid scrutiny amid concerns that the Irish authorities might crack down on their activities, according to people familiar with the arrangements.

The ministry of economy of the United Arab Emirates – a country that has backed Haftar with funding and weapons in breach of sanctions, according to multiple UN reports – granted SOF Training a licence to provide “security training” on July 13th, 2023 according to business registration records. SOF is a commonly-used military acronym for special operations forces. Company ownership records in the UAE are private so it is unknown who the ultimate owner of SOF is.

‘It prolongs the conflict’

UN experts have issued multiple reports blaming the involvement of private military contractors and international powers seeking to shape the future of Libya for dragging out the country’s conflict and disorder.

“It prolongs the conflict, it kind of chips away at Libyan sovereignty, and it makes it very difficult to resolve,” said Emadeddin Badi, a Libya expert who is non-resident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council.

The involvement of overseas contractors have “internationalised” the conflict, making Libya a stage for vying foreign powers, according to Dr Sorcha MacLeod, a member of the UN’s working group on the use of mercenaries.

“It’s been hugely problematic ... destabilising the entire peace process in Libya,” she said.

A Western diplomat, highly experienced on Libyan sanctions measures, said: “This is undoubtedly a violation of the arms embargo as it provides military support and training to Haftar’s forces.”

The 166 Infantry Brigade and the Libyan National Army did not respond to requests for comment.
