Hi everybody from Ray and Mandy.

We set off from Gosport in mid April and have eventually arrived in Falmouth and we are now ready to depart, next stop N Spain!


We have been plauged by bad weather from the day we arrived on the boat but have had a great time visiting Weymouth, Dartmouth, Plymouth and finaly Falmouth which we have really enjoyed.

On route we met our very good friends Sam and June who have a beautifull boat in Plymouth and they followed us down to Falmouth whilst they were competing in a three port triangular race. Sam and June look set to raise an incredible £3000.00 plus in sponsorship for the Macmillan Nurses.

In Falmouth we met Dudley Tapper from Ingestre golf club and his new wife. They came on board and we had a lovely afternoon.

We leave Falmouth at around 0300 on Friday 11/05 and hope to arrive in La Coruna in approx 3/4 days time. After all the adverse conditions that we have endured the weather is hopefully turning in our favor with N/NW winds forecast, and possibly a little sun!

WE will, all being well, post another blog on our arrival and would be delighted to hear from you all from time time to time. Our boat e mail is;
