Hello and welcome to my blog, an account of our sail around Great Britain during 2015 and 2016. The sail is being undertaken by my friend Roger and I, and with friends who wish to sail either part of the way or all of the way with us. We are using the voyage as a means of raising funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. We are keen to hear from anyone who is interested in the project, and anyone who wishes to join the crew. I do hope you enjoy following the blog. Michael.

All quiet on the boat-buying front.....
There seems to be a temporary hiatus in the boat-buying process. We are waiting to be assigned a date when the boat will be sailed to mainland Britain, which will also be our opportunity to have our test sail in her. She will be sailed to Swanwick on the Hamble, where she will then be inspected by a surveyor before we complete the purchase, probably by 1 Feb now. That will give us about 3 months to get any updates/improvements etc. made to the boat before a planned launch in early May. There will then be some 'shake down' cruises to check that everything performs as it should, before we embark on our circumnavigation of GB!
