We now have just 20 days until our departure! We are leaving on the midday tide from Trinity, Tollesbury; so feel free to come down and enjoy some tea, cake and fellowship before waving us off.
Mary has been revising hard for her finals, and I have 1500 words left of my last essay, so university is slowly winding down. However, Jellyfish things are begginning to hot up again (as is the weather!). We have been in contact with a couple of newspapers, who are interested in writing about our adventure, and all sorts of other links are starting to fall into place- so keep your ears and eyes open for FACT in the news.
Another update on sponsorship- we are almost at 20% of our target, so thank you! We would love it if you can share what we are doing with people you know, so point them to this blog, or email us, and we can provide you with some literature designed to communicate what we are doing, and who we are doing all this for.
Thank you for all your support so far,
Becky and Mary

What We Are Doing
Well here we are, planning a trip around the UK coast, we leave on the 12th of June for the 2 and a half month trip, in a boat about the length of a modern estate car. Crazy? Foolhardy?
Well we like to think so.
The aim of this sponsored sail is to raise money for the Fellowship Afloat's bursary fund, which provides oppurtunities for people to enjoy outdoor activities who might otherwise not be able to afford it.
One of Fellowship Afloat's big goals is to allow as many people as possible the oppurtunity to enjoy the activities that the centre provides. Over the years this has meant subsidising the costs for many individuals and groups.
The fund setup to provide for these groups and individuals has been supported over the years by generous legacy's and donations, but this has over the last three years been depleted as Fellowship Afloat has sought to offer itself to more.
We plan with this trip to replenish the bursary fund, our goal £10,000 is the amount that Fellowhsip Afloat spent last year from this fund, and if we can raise it will guarantee another years worth of support.
Please keep checking this page as we update it with our location and the tales of our travels around the UK. If you would like to donate money to the bursary fund Click on the link at the top of the page.

Hey Becky and Mary, hope all goes well with the last breaths of your degrees - and that you can concentrate on work with all this just around the corner! Anyway, just wanted to say that am praying for you guys - and that I'm just in awe of you! I'm gutted that I won't be able to come and wave you off (as am on holiday) but maybe will bump into around Tollesbury before then. Very excited to keep up to date with how you're doing, and will certainly be sending this blog to everyone I know!
Love and prayers, Ruth (Ellam)
Wow! Nearly 20% of your target and you haven't even left yet"
