It's alright, things haven't gone disastrously wrong, but we do want to remind you why we are doing this crazy sailing thing!
Fellowship Afloat have a bursary fund, which enables the people that can benefit most from all that FACT has to offer, to come and experience the activities, the environment and the fellowship of living onboard. For some testimony as to how the bursary fund is used, click here and scroll down.
We want to raise £10,000 for this fund, and this is why so many people have put in so much time in getting both of us, the boat and this blog ready for this adventure. So far we have amazingly raised over £3500, so thank you to all those who have given!
Just a reminder, that if you want to give you can click here, or on the 'Donate Now' box above, which will enable you to give online (with the added benefit of FACT reclaiming gift aid if you are a UK tax payer). If you don't want to give online but would still like to help us reach our total, give the FACT office a call (number found here) and they will be able to explain more.
Finally, keep looking on here for regular sailing updates, we are now in Scotland and still on our time schedule!

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.
