ABOUT
Two friends, both health retired emergency service volunteers,
are sailing a tiny 50-year-old 'Leisure 17' sailing boat unassisted across the Atlantic Ocean in December 2021 in aid of their favourite charities:
Macmillan Cancer Support Mind MS-UK St Helena Hospice
-
We're casting off in December 2021
-
It's 3000-miles East to West from The Canary Islands to the Caribbean
-
It will take roughly 30-35 days (weather depending).

Waves could be up to 40ft high

It's taken six years of planning and weather watching!
