Phil's Round Britain Challenge
dave_ching:
What people will do to get out of sailing with me.
Both Phil and Jeremy have risked sailing with me and now the only thing to do is sail around Britain.
They are doing really well.
Good luck and get back soon, wee need all the practice we can get.

They've just passed New Quay, where we have had several Cherub National Championships. They're currently 30 miles offshore, out of sight of any land. Even the thought of that in an open dinghy gives me the heeby-jeebies! Respect is due.
Neil C.:
Hope the guys are ok. The satellite tracking shows a bit of gyrating in the middle of the north channel of the Irish Sea since about 8pm. They now appear to be heading for the nearest land south of Larne in the dark. Maybe a bit if gear failure. Plenty of shipping round there if they had a major issue.
Torchy:
The boys are heading for Cape Wrath....a 'turning the corner' moment
Neil C.:
They're now past John O'Groat's and have rounded the corner at the top of the Scottish mainland. Downhill all the way home from there. Looks like they're on target to absolutely destroy the previous record too.
