Nice sailing! And yes, the ‘sock’ makes it easier but still, with at moments 4 Bft and 1,5 mtr seas you are doing a great single handed job !!!
Cheers,

That says he's so many boats washed up on his shoulder most sure

[@rickhunt4487]

I really enjoy your videos ! Great job 👏 👍

[@edbeardsailing]

Thanks Rick! I appreciate the kind words 👍

[@sandys-channel]

what happens to these boats? The Argenaut looks like a very nice boat, I assume they get it pulled back out and repaired?

[@edbeardsailing]

The day I left Dominica, Argenaut was no longer on the beach. There are a lot of rumours flying about, so maybe it’s best if one day Argenaut is able to drop in with what actually happened….

[@dirtyeric]

Dominica is amazing. Looks like Argenaut was beached in Portsmouth near the street market and hadn't even cleared in yet. Curious where she will be towed (Antigua or Matinque) for repairs as Dominca has not the facilities that I am aware of.

[@edbeardsailing]

Hi Eric. Yup you’ve nailed it, right by the fishing dock. I’m not sure what next steps will be in Dominica - especially without a rudder. Hope to find out myself.
