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.

@patricklaine6958 3 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.

Ahh great to see another sailing video from you, Patrick! 🙂 Regarding birds: it never worked for me either when I tried to give them drinking water in bottle cap or small plate, but once I accidently splashed water on the cockpit floor and then the bird start drinking it, perhaps next time works for you too... 🙂

@patricklaine6958 3 ай бұрын

I might try that tactic. That said, most of those birds are in very bad shape by the time they get to our sailboats. The best we can hope is to make their end a little more comfortable. Sad.
