Encountering a MIGRANT RAFT between the Canary Islands and Africa: https://youtu.be/QUJKC4aROVU

Less than 48 hours after leaving Lanzarote on my solo transatlantic, I got called in by the Coast Guards to go assist with the rescue operation of a migrant raft.
In the wake of that fateful night, I was left dealing with the emotional aftermath almost on my own, and now have to make a decision as to if I continue or not.
