Sailing alone - Sailing a lightning damaged boat with no working electronics - Part 3

Lightning , so pretty and dazzling but not this time. Alone and at a remote anchorage it strikes the mast and smashes a hole in the bottom of my boat and water is flooding in. The video is my desperate struggle to save my home.

Just watch the video....can't give it all away.

Give it a thumbs up if you liked this episode!

Amazing adventure Plukky. Serious sailor skills on display.
And then drops off his food for a family to ease their troubles.
Absolute legend.

When u eat the fish’s head what do u remove before cooking it and what bits do u eat? Is there anything to avoid or do u eat every bit except for the bones? I’ve seen sailors eat fish heads off the fire but never know if Y’all are chowin’ down on the whole head, brains and all or if some bits should/must be avoided. I would NEVER have thought the eyes were of any nutritional value so keep teaching us how to NOT die. I swear…This playlist…. You Sir, will save people’s lives with this video. Thank you so much for being so damn selfless during your harrowing morning of being struck by lightning. God love You and God keep You❤

Not only are you a good diver, you are a very good sailor. Love your channel. As a 69 year old ex South African salvage diver and many many sailing miles behind me I relive my experiences through you! Enjoy mate!

Hi Peter, what an adventure!
About to loose your yacht and kept the camera rolling while diving under the hull pushing bull sharks away in the middle of the night stuffing plastic bags into the hole in your hull to stop from sinking !!!! Found and repaired the bearing and pumped for hours, wow Man that is absolutely Full On!!! Very well done, you kept a cool head and thought things through in a dire emergency. You survived because you were well prepared, had a lot of guts, and didnt give up. Legend !
