    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
      @patricklaine6958  8 місяців тому

      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.

    Hi Patrick,
    Thanks for your videos. I had the same problem to start engine sometimes - had to use the screwdriver. A couple years ago, I removed that part and connected wires directely, and works perfectelly. Birds problem: these year will try with a cage and free them next harbour. All the best, dino

    • @patricklaine6958
      @patricklaine6958  8 місяців тому

      Yeah, I think putting them in a cage and releasing them at the next port is a good idea, if logistically a little bit difficult. That said, while I wouldn't hesitate transplanting a bird from Scotland to Ireland, to take an Irish bird and transplant it to the Caribbean is probably not a good idea (invasive species, etc.). Tough call.
