To sail south around Wales in the beautiful Scarlet. We departed from Holyhead just after midnight,. The waves so big, they gave us a fright! It was a starry starry night that night we set sail,. With Simon relaying the peanut shark tale! Abersoch was our next port of call,. Fun, games and laughter was had by all. Thirty-three hours down the line,.

Skippers Log: June 2009
http://rbskipperslog.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
For more info visit roundbritain.org. Tuesday, 30 June 2009. We also managed a bit of a kick around in the park and played a game of touch rugby. I must admit, we did bend the rules quite a bit (probably because we didn’t really know the rules so just made up our own ‘Scarlet’ rules – something we’re quite good at doing). It was such great fun though, and the whole crew were in stitches! Arbroath Harbor were very kind, and gave us a massive discount on our berthing fees- Thank you very much! After the sh...

For more info visit roundbritain.org. Thursday, 24 September 2009. How can I sum up the last six months. probably the best would be to do the same as we have done on each of the legs with the crew - best bits, worst bits and funniest bits. Let's get the worst bits over with first - seasick crew! Also a great sense of achievement and confidence boost to have sorted the problem. Gerrard MacAuley was also brilliant at keeping us giggling. Generally, just people being themselves and having a good time. Ellen...

Ben was also the sleeping champion of the leg. Once we were in, everyone got stuck into cleaning Scarlet up and getting her sorted after 33hrs at sea. Off to have some breakfast now, cheerio. Cath.

It really was good to have someone come on board and sort a couple things out for us, just one less thing for us to worry about when we had such a short turn around. I really do appreciate the help from them and thank you to Giles for organizing this! From a rather quiet and peaceful Scarlet, good night! Wednesday, 27 May 2009. Woderful Welcome into Ipswitch.

Wednesday, 6 May 2009. The next stop for the Ellen MacArthur Trust Skandia Round Britain trip...

The weekend was based around a photoshoot on Sunday, but actually it was a really great excuse to get out on the water, meet a few of the young people that are coming sailing, and have some fun! Out, which does look fantastic! Thursday, 23 April 2009. Happy (busy) days in Cowes. What an in...
