Ray Oliver
Ray has recently completed his own circumnavigation in aid of Marie Curie, RETHINK and of course, the RNLI. You can read his blog and sponsor him by following his links on this site: http://www.roundukcruise.org.uk. Ray has helped us out with some advice and by selling us a load of his used charts, tidal streams and pilots at a greatly reduced price. Thank you Ray!
Jersey Sailing
Rose and I have decided to get a bit more qualified and experienced before we head off. We explained our plans to Jersey Sailing and they gave us a nice discount - so in March 2010 we'll be going to the Channel Islands (by plane!). Here's Jersey sailing's website: http://www.jerseysailing.com
EchoMax
We are (as at 20/01/2010) without a radar reflector. Considering our intentions this is obviously a bit of a problem. A little research revealed that the EchoMax reflectors are the most highly regarded on the market. I contacted John at EchoMax and he kindly offered us a 'second' item with a free bracket for mounting to the mast. Brilliant! Thank you! Here's the EchoMax website: http://www.echomax.co.uk/
