Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As the Skipper on James Cook, i know only to well how the experience the Ocean Youth Trust North offers changes lives and builds futures. Working with the young people who come onboard is an extremely rewarding experience. This is my opportunity to raise some awareness about the charity and on a personal level make a contribution to fund some deserving youngsters.

This is not a challenge i am taking on my own. Two of our volunteers Georgie and Craig have agreed to complete the race with me. We have been out getting up our miles whenever i am not away sailing. 63 miles is a long way but we are determined to make it!
