    Alan you sir are one very brave Canadian, I can't imagine coping with that rogue wave alone on the Atlantic ocean must have been invigorating, exciting and frightening wrapped up into one package. I am from Barbados where the southeast side of the island is washed by the Atlantic ocean and those seas are the most brutal to navigate as I have heard from the fishermen on that side of the island. I now live in Toronto Ontario Canada where I yearn to be back there again but with covid19, I am stuck here patiently waiting for some kind of normalcy to return but listening to the national health authorities it's going to be a very long wait. I keep myself busy reading and watching old comedy throw backs on TH-cam. I stumbled upon your story as I am subscribed to CBC I listen all day long to classical music on 96.3FM to stay calm and relaxed. I enjoyed meeting you and hearing about your experience with your sailboat. I can only imagine how happy you are to be back on land with your wife.

    So happy for you Alan, you are one of the few who actually set out and took on the world by yourself, and in the act(s) of doing so, have grown as a person. Well done!

    What a great story.
    It's hard to find good documenteys when you don't live in Canada.
    You can't even watch CBC Docs on GEM
    If you're not in Canada😕
    Even if you're prepared to pay.

      Davey Morgan I’ve found them in GEM. You need to get a VPN and log in from it. Looks like the entire catalog is on GEM. Check out the short stories, they’re great!

      @@DanielC__ thanks so much
      I was thinking of a VPN.
      It's such a pity those stories are restricted to Canada
