Left Brighton after a great night out with all the lads.Set of to meet up at Lulworth Cove but had to change at the last minute after being told that we were about to sail into a gunnery range!

It was suggested that we go first because the smaller boats could hide behind us when the shells started flying ,we told them not to be southern softies and just zig-zag very fast.

We arrived safely at portland to a great reception,we left the fleet there after saying goodbye to
lots of new Friends .Many thanks to Patrick Byrne for doing a terrific job of organising the rally,as he said more people have climbed Everest than have sailed a small power-boat round the British Isles.

We have arrived back at Falmouth after crossing our track .Thanks "Bluewater Raven" for taking us safely on an experience of a lifetime, now just the small task of getting back to Fleetwood for unloading then on to Cushendall . We will have covered the best part of 3000 miles

Left Suffolk for the run down to turn the corner into the English Channel.This turned into a great leg flat seas and lots of sunshine .Entered Brighton Marina ,never seen as much money on the water in my life! Well one more leg to go and then back "Up North" to feed the ferrets and whippets
