Ep 15 Sail Solo from Azores: I Failed to Secure My Shackles

I continue my 900 nm solo sail from the Azores to Spain. I am astonished to see a dangerous 'fisherman's pot' 200 NM from land. I also admit 'operator error' for not having secured the pins in my shackles. Three came undone during this trip -- fortunately without drama, but it could have been a much different outcome. Lesson learned.
