Suwena Sailing in Northern Ireland
While waiting for the sailing of next summer there have finally been some time to edit a raw footage from two previous summers. During this spring our aim is to get the video library updated and here is the first one ready to go.
Sailing around the British Isles should definitely include the visiting in Northern Ireland as well.
Here comes a sample of Suwena's sailing in Belfast and in Strangford Loch. You can read more from our blog stories of Northern Ireland at
BELFAST: A tour of the historic City Hall (Northern Ireland)
SUBSCRIBE: - A tour (video) of the Belfast City Hall (Northern Ireland). Vic Stefanu, vstefanu@yahoo.com. Belfast City Hall is the civic building of Belfast City Council located in Donegall Square, Belfast, Northern Ireland. It faces North and effectively divides the commercial and business areas of the city centre.
Belfast is Northern Ireland’s capital. It was the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, which famously struck an iceberg and sunk in 1912. This legacy is recalled in the renovated dockyards' Titanic Quarter, which includes the Titanic Belfast, an aluminium-clad museum reminiscent of a ship’s hull, as well as shipbuilder Harland & Wolff’s Drawing Offices and the Titanic Slipways, which now host open-air concerts.
Carnlough Antrim Fishing Village - Carnlough Harbour - NI
Carnlough and Carnlough Harbour is an area of outstanding beauty nestled in amongst the Glens of Antrim - at the foot of Glencloy -
and the North Channel on the well travelled Coast Road.
Carnlough is actually a beautiful small fishing village that is located in county Antrim, Northern Ireland, and this Carnlough Harbour is part of it, on the shores of Carnlough Bay.
Carnlough Harbour was built by the owners of the quarries west of the village, which were connected to the harbour by means of a mineral tramway network, which include a bridge over each of two parallel streets in the village. Most of the old things that are built in any country out there are renovated and that is exactly the same that happened with Carnlough Harbour; it has been renovated recently and is now used by pleasure boats and small fishing boats.
Carnlough Harbour is now considered the focal point for the whole village, that is why it might be attracting lots of people - especially the local Irish ones - to it because they already now what they are going to see and experience at this place. This area offers many opportunities for both sea angling and fresh water angling.
If you intended to come to Carnlough Harbour by boat before and you are not from the village, you might have heard that it is difficult to find a place because it is usually full of local boats.
Carnlough Harbour is situated at the northern end of Carnlough Bay between Garren Point and Park Head. Visiting the place in general has its own different feeling and it is of course one experience which you will fall in love with for the weather and the calmness of the view; if you are coming from afar, there is also the famous Londonderry Arms Hotel which is just in front of the harbour and which you could stay at.
Being in Carnlough Village itself means that there are different attractions which one could actually see and check in addition to Carnlough Harbour - which we have to say is the most famous there. The options from the places that one could choose, there is the Glenarm Castle, the Red Bay Castle, Cranny Falls, Ardclinis Church, Carnlough Library, St. John the Evangelist, and the Hidden Village of Galboly. People always think that because Carnlough is a small village, it might not have what people could visit and know more about, but it has and might even grab the attention so easily.
In addition to those attractions and destinations which one could head out to in order to check in Carnlough Village, one should also think about the activities or those things which could be done apart from sightseeing. One of the examples which we have include taking the Carnlough Bay boat tours which will provide you with a new experience, or else going to the Glenarm forest and have a walk inside the place and experience it all.
Carnlough is situated in Ballymena and that brings another journey which people could think about - you could jump from one village to the other to check what it has there, but which will definitely depend on the number of days you are taking to enjoy your vacation.
In Ballymena, there are some important places to be mentioned, such as the Cushendun Caves which are situated in Cushendun ( and which also appeared in Game of Thrones movie series - just like Carnlough - and which is one of those which we have been to before.
Carnlough Harbour appeared in Game of Thrones movie series which is filmed in different locations all around Northern Ireland, even some of the 10 doors that appeared in the movie are found in Northern Ireland as well and if we are referring to Ballymena then door number 8 is found in Mary McBride's Bar which is found in Cushendun, Ballymena; so there is always something to explore in every part of Northern Ireland.
The trip we had to visit Carnlough Harbour was an interesting one, we didn't manage to visit any other touristic destinations in Carnlough Village but we loved walking by the water, sitting there just watching the boats, and at the same time enjoying the breeze and the atmosphere of the whole place.
If you are going on a tour regarding the locations that are part of Game of Thrones then visiting the Carnlough Harbour is a must, and if you are generally searching for a new and different location which you might visit in Northern Ireland then this is also an option - but it will definitely depend on your current location and the place you are staying at during your visit.
If you have already been to the Carnlough Harbour before then share with us your experience and tell us about the things you loved the most about the place. If you have never been there before then this is the right time to head to this peaceful place and see it in real and you will not lose if you also headed to some of the attractions there as well.

Andrew Joseph McKenna Newspaperman Friar's Bush Cemetery
Andrew Joseph McKenna, the 'headless man'. He was a successful Catholic newspaperman but this did not stop the local Proetestant boys from removing his head way back in the 1800s!
A Cavan man who launched his Northern Star newspaper in 1868. He died in 1872. Apparently he was a fine orator as well.
Further
Northern Star
The Northern Star voiced strong support for the Volunteer movement, also championing parliamentary reform and the union of the people. According to Wolf Tone, it also aimed to give fair coverage of the events in revolutionary France, and to support the emancipation of the Roman Catholics through the creation of an independent Republic of Ireland.
The first edition of the Northern Star was published on January 4, 1792. Samuel Neilson acted as editor on an annual salary of £100. Seven numbers were printed by John Tisdall, and succeeding issues by John Rabb. The principle contributors were the Rev James Porter from Greyabbey, (This is the same guy who was hung for being a United Irishman and now lies in Greyabbey graveyard. I have dine a video about his grave there! )
William Sampson, a lawyer from Co Londonderry, the Rev Sinclair Kelburn, minister at the Rosemary Street Church, Belfast, Thomas Russell, librarian of Linen Hall Library, and the Rev William Steel Dickson, Presbyterian minister of Portaferry. ( I found his grave in Clifton Street cemetery! )
As the ideas fostered by the French revolutionaries filtered through to Ulster, the Society of United Irishmen increased in strength and the political tone of the paper became more extreme. Several of the proprietors were placed under arrest and eventually the Monaghan militia raided the printing office at Wilson’s Court, smashing the presses and throwing the type out the window.
In 1868, Andrew Joseph McKenna started printing the thrice weekly Northern Star from premises at 36 Arthur Street. The first number appeared on Thursday, February 6, 1868, and the last at the end of November 1872. He also published the Weekly Observer.

WW1 Wall Mural Tribute to Men From Gertrude St Belfast
I'm down at Templemore Avenue in East Belfast to film this 2016 gable wall tribute, entitled, 'From Gertrude Street to France and Flanders': Here we have a list of 12 young men from the local area who fought and died at WWI’s western front. The men are commemorated in a new mural in Martin Street, -G McCune, H. Nabney, J. Burns, W. Duff, J. Fagan, A. Leckey, W. Nabney, M. Scott, R. C. Skillen, J. Watson, R. Harvey, S. Wright.
Gertrude Street no longer exists; it was on the other side of Newtownards Road, opposite (the current) St Matthew’s church. The mural bears the emblem of the Gertrude Star Flute Band, which was founded there in 1961. CharterNI and the NI housing Executive were also involved in the mural. The mural was painted by BlazeFX.
The poem 'The legacy of Gertrude street' was written by angela McCully.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
