A New Tack

Well, the snow came back! When the spring finally comes it will be with a rush. Last week saw a visit to the Pirate's Cave. Some more anchor chain was purchased and a Fisherman anchor ordered, the better to deal with kelpy bottoms in the Scottish anchorages.


Whilst web browsing on the subject of circumnavigations like this one being planned, I came across an account by Mike Fellowes about his trip round the UK in his cutter "Kes" in aid of the RNLI. What a good idea! See sailtales.co.uk/ So I decided to link this cruise to a fundraise for this excellent cause. A letter to the area fundraising manager has resulted in some very good advice and help. I have opened a page on http//www.justgiving.com/UKCruise and am looking forward to receiving forms and advertising material from the RNLI.
