In 2019 there was a lot of boat projects, Salty Lass was set up as a day cruiser and we wanted to live aboard full time. As usual it always takes longer than you think and it was the end of May before we finally left Liverpool. We then went on an adventure cruising around Scotland and Northern Ireland, before returning to Liverpool to see family and friends. We left Liverpool to Conwy and cruised along the North coast of Wales. We then decided that the weather was getting too bad for cruising so we decided to move to Bangor for six months to complete yet more boat projects and get in some winter sailing.

Raising money for the RNLI
The RNLI turned 200 years old on 4th March 2024. So as sailors and people who promote the joy of sailing, we thought that we would like to raise just £200. What we hope is that other people take up the shout and raise their own £200. In the last 200 years the RNLI have saved over 144,000 lives and yet they are funded entirely by people like you. They are not government funded.
