Tue 22nd June – 15:00
Arrived at Whitehaven 8 this morning (high tide -- lucky) our runners are going well, could be a good time and we will leave at 5 which is the first opportunity for the tide anyway. Has our luck turned?
Thoughts from last night’s sail:
Trevor - Long [sail], appreciated Jackie waking up to pack the chute [spinnaker].
Richard - Good to have a long spinnaker run.
John - Classic Irish sea, glorious sunsets, variable winds, smooth to wind over tide lumpy in 5 hours, welcome to the washing machine!
The runners slept through the lumpy bit but loved al fresco hot pot to sunset over the isle of man.
Next is the Mull of Galloway with tides against, more eddie sailing and close to land stuff.
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.
