The last leg...

A note from Mrs C


Just to say Gamaldansk and her crew are now officially on their way home, hurrah! Steve left Milford Haven in marginally better conditions than 3 days earlier and with first mate Pete Caskey and new crew member Graham Tyson on board, completed a 24 hour straight run to Falmouth. I spoke to them at 1am as they were rounding Lands End when they were in a very dark and big sea, so it was with huge relief that I spoke to them again in the morning and found they were just a few miles away from Falmouth.

This journey has been a massive achievement all round and certainly more challenging than I think anyone imagined - I am very proud and can safely say they have earned every penny of the sponsorship money they have raised - on and offline it stands at around £6,000 plus what they have collected in buckets on the way round.

They are due to arrive back in Fowey tomorrow Sunday 19th August at 4pm where we will be waiting on Albert Quay to welcome them home - anyone who could make it down to join us would be more than welcome - followed by drinks in the Lugger, Polruan.

Thanks to all for your support.

Sal xx
