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.

Contrasting approaches.....
Diane and I were SO pleased to see a sponsorship donation of £300 made recently by Annonymous. Mr/Ms Annonymous, we don't know who you are, but we really appreciate your support, and you are such a very kind and generous person! Thanks for being such a great supporter of the CF Trust and the Blue Star project!
Contrast that generosity with a recent news article that told how HMRC are not granting gift aid donations when more than one person is named as the donor because they cannot be sure whose tax to reclaim / donate. This seems incredibly mean when eg. Janet and John name themselves and add a note of encouragement when making a sponsorship donation. Surely HMRC could find a more understanding way of dealing with this situation.
