Our crew would have experienced sunrise over Anglesey on this, the longest day of the year. Here is their position a good six hours after sunrise. No word from them recently. If anyone has anything to report, send me a text or leave a comment.
A team of Helsby Running Club members and businessmen will tackle one of the oldest extreme multi-sport endurance races to raise money for charity. The five-strong Silver Surfers team are taking part in the Three Peaks Yacht Race. They will be raising money of a number of local charities; the Hospice of the Good Sheppard, St Ann’s Hospice, SOS Children and Round Table Children’s Wish. Follow the progress of Phil, Jackie, Trevor, John and Richard on this blog.
It looks as if the tide is pushing the yachts back and they are staying in as close to shore as possible where there is less tide. Also, the lack of wind must be very frustrating and would make a good spinnaker run if it should pick up, which is not due until the early hours of Tuesday. When the tide turns, they will get pushed around more, best they start rowing if they haven't already! I guess they should make Whitehaven during Tuesday evening/night which will mean a night out on the fells (at least cooler).
