Team GBchallengecrew resume the sailing this weekend with a planned initial trip from Douglas to Holyhead. After all of the sun we've had recently it looks like it might be a rainy trip! I'm very disappointed to report that I will not be aboard personally for some/all of this week because my son Dan is ill in hospital and I am needed at home. It is a sobering reminder of one of the reasons that we are taking on this challenge. It is also a convenient time to remind myself that this is a team event with lots of different people contributing - to fund raising, organising, and sailing, and so it is not essential that I sail every part of the trip (although I really REALLY wanted to!). I may be able to join the crew if Dan's situation improves, but I wish Roger, Len, Layton and Jamie all the best.
We also heard recently from Chris Mason who was one of the crew of Wizard, the yacht we sailed from Kinlochbervie with. Chris sent us the photo below, which brings back some great memories.
I don't think it was meant as a joke, but.....
