Another super video Patrick. It brought back memories! Back in 1977, I sailed out to Rockall in a Rival 34 with three friends in the days before GPS. It was calm enough to land and I climbed to the top. After ten surreal minutes sitting on the remains of the light (which I understand is now long gone) I jumped off the steep side. Unforgettable experience.
@patricklaine69583 ай бұрын
I was tempted to land as well because a High was moving in with very calm wx, but there isn't really an anchorage there and as a solo sailor I couldn't risk leaving the boat. Sounds like you had a great adventure there.
