Dark Angel can finally sail again thanks to a generous friend, and apparently we now have an attention-seeking shark who expects pets on demand. Then I’m underwater in a bikini trying to patch our damaged keel as we keep chasing progress one fix at a time
In this episode of Sailing Dark Angel, after months without a headsail, we finally rig the beautiful jib/genoa donated by our friend and fellow cruiser and turn Dark Angel into a proper sailboat again. Then a very friendly shark insists on pets from the sugar scoops. And thanks to another generous cruiser who handed us some seriously pricey Splash Zone epoxy, I slip into my work bikini and try to patch our damaged keel. Even though I’m lasered smooth I like to put in the extra work with a razor to stay extra clean and smooth. Of course, using my outdoor shower always runs the risk of an audience �
⚠️ Lightning Strike Update
We were directly struck by lightning. Navigation systems, running lights, anchor lights, work lights, a large freezer, and even our keel were damaged. We’re still facing VAT, duty, exchange rates, customs brokerage, and a costly haul-out for keel repairs in the Dominican Republic. Current items still needing repair/replacement include our Isotherm freezer in the saloon, our AIS and keel repairs.
Also, our newly replaced wind instruments aren’t working. Facing shipping and customs for replacement.
When I started this platform I was pretty shy on camera, so this was truly uncensored. �
Now, you’ll miss the parts on the cutting room floor. ����
This is the best you’ll see in a full length Sailing Dark Angel video, but for the clips that Vimeo and Patreon won’t let me show, go to my new platform unlockd.me/sailingangel. That’s where I’m free to be as daring as I like, and I can’t wait to share with you! We can message each other, you can make requests, and I can release the Dark Angel inside �
