On 16 June 2014, Yacht Alexandria left Shotley near Harwich and sailed round Britain, visiting Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, Scotland, the Hebrides and Orkneys. The whole trip took 6 weeks, covered 2200 miles, involved 20 crew changes and took on some of the most difficult tidal waters and hostile coastline..and the British weather.
