The navigational and safety equipment on Jellyfish has almost all been acquired and fitted. There is just one major item missing, our life raft. There are many arguments about whether you really need a life raft if you stay close to the coast, but one thing is for sure, you are safer with one than without one! As we are hoping to go right over the top of scotland, we think this is an important piece of equipment.
So if any of you have a fully serviced 4 person liferaft sitting in your attic/ under a huge pile of miscellaneous marine junk in one of your cockpit lockers, or more likely know of any connections within the marine liferaft industry then please let us know. If not please spread the message around your friends, colleagues, and church.
Many thanks
Mary and Becky

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.
