5 Weeks To Go!

Well, it is just over 5 weeks to go and I am starting to get excited!

The planning is mostly now complete with just a few bits and pieces to do but I have now pretty much settled on stop off ports, passage planning and risk assessment and unless something else comes to light they will not now change.

I am starting to get the boat prepared now. Liferaft, EPIRB, Fire Extinquishers, Scramble ladder, throwline etc are all here and some bits need fitting. I also have a Sea-Me radar Target Enhancer to fit too. In the next week or two the RNLI MOB Guardian will be fitted.

A week or two before the off I will get the main and aux engines serviced along with the putting together of a spares and tools pack for the trip.

Finally, with a week to go I will start loading and packing ready for the off, weather permitting, on 24th May.

I am still some way short of the funding so if you or anyone you know wants to be involved and could sponsor a leg please get in touch. See the Sponsorship page for more details.
