We did it! We had an amazing time and the sailing was great fun. It was really good getting to know everyone and learning how to work as a team. Mark, Charlotte and Jake were brilliant coaches and couldn’t have done more to look after us and make sure everyone got involved with all aspects of the boat. We had weather, sea-sickness, snoring but no complaints! The highlight for me was seeing our crew getting stuck into every task from sailing the boat to cleaning the toilets. Thank you so much to Cirdan for the adventure of a lifetime!

We're setting sail! After all of the delays we are finally casting off on Monday 26th July. Quite a lot of changes to the original plan have been required, but we are now excited to be setting off from Tower Bridge in London to complete a five-day leg up the east coast of England. We have amassed a fantastic crew and this week we will be packing and ordering provisions. We are still fund raising so please support us if you can. Fingers crossed for continuing good weather!

Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far. We have now raised £3,000 of the £4,500 needed for the voyage. Amazing! Unsurprisingly the planned date for the voyage has been delayed by the C-19 outbreak, but we are still hopeful to complete the challenge later in the year or possibly next year. These times have been difficult for all of us, and particularly so for people affected by serious mental illness. Having something to look forward to has been really important. Thank you so much for your generosity, Moggie & the crew
