We are sad to share the tragic news that our dear dear friend Danny Sheehy lost his life at sea after a tragic accident off the coast of Galicia on Friday, June 9th.

We are currently working on the international feature-length version of The Camino Voyage (Iomramh an Chamino) for release early next year. If we manage to do some justice to the memory of this larger-than-life character from West Kerry we will have accomplished something.

Tá ár chara Danny imithe ar slí na fírinne.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.


 

In 2015 we landed in Albaola – the wonderful Sea Factory of the Basques located just outside Donostia / San Sebastian – and they gave us a incredible welcome, stored the Naomhóg over the winter of 2015 and gave us an inspiring send-off when we set off again in 2016.

They, like all of us, were deeply touched by Danny’s magnetic presence and have prepared this moving tribute to Danny:

Danny 2
