SDA212 Repairs, Remoras & Raising a Toast

A quick sail to Black Point turns into more repairs, a few unexpected visitors, and a quiet toast to 12,000 of you who keep us going. In this episode of Sailing Dark Angel we move over to Black Point for a fresh view and a little breathing room. We tackle more of the lightning damage, visit the fish that has claimed our through-hull, and stop to admire a starfish. Then we head to White Point for a swim where a remora latches onto us and we raise a glass of Shipwreck to twelve thousand subscribers. ⚠️ The lightning strike changed everything on Dark Angel, and we’re still rebuilding piece by piece. If you’d like to support the recovery, our GoFundMe is here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-rebuild-after-lightning-struck-their-boat 🍹 Rum tasting article in Latitudes and Attitudes magazine – it’s delicious! https://digitalmagazine.latsatts.com/sailingdarkangel-5456 🌊 Our Bahamas snorkeling article (also in Lats & Atts) https://summer2023.latsatts.com/theresthisplace#a_aid=640782a615fd9&a_bid=0e47bed1 🎒 We take our Ugowear waterproof bags EVERYWHERE!
