Having arrived in Padstow yesterday, and spent a while on a mooring buoy waiting for the tide, we eventually made it into our most picturesque harbour yet. The little quay was bustling with holiday makers enjoying the sunshine. It turned out to be Sea Sunday, and we were both surprised when the lifeboat drove into the harbour with a number of vicars on the bow. They led a short service (using a load-hailer as the PA wasn’t working), and about 300 people joined the brass band to sing the hymns. It was quite a special time (for me anyway) as they prayed for all sea-farers and their families.
Today we had a day off enjoying the sunshine (I think we left the rain in the north) with a visit from my (Becky) Uncle we were able to visit Falmouth and see my brother. It being the summer holidays, Cornwall is full of people, and today really felt like a slice of holiday. This is such a blessing after our long hours coming down the west coast.
Thank you all for your comments and support. We have almost reached 50% of our target, and it would be great to reach £5000 by the end of the week!

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.
