Our main aims for 2020 are to complete our training for the RYA Yachtmaster, so that means an additional 600nM to travel before we have completed the minimum requirements. We also need to improve our yacht, so lots more boat projects, before we head out to sea in April 2020

Raising money for the RNLI
We were only on our third sail in our brand new boat to us and we had to call the coast guard for assistance. That assistance came in the shape of a RNLI boat from Portpatrick, so we have decided to raise money for the RNLI through our Damsels in distress page on just giving, that way you know that any money goes straight to them. We have set ourselves a target of £500 and we would like to honour our pledge, so if you like our videos then please give a little to those who rescue people in the seas around the UK.
