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. A Challenge to be proud of. This is our blog. https://www.justgiving.com/s-p-o/

Studland Bay
Lunch in Studland Bay, arr 1020 and spent half a hour trying to anchor due to protected sea horses. Wish they had galloped off somewhere else. At present tied to a buoy and eating a sandwich. Heaven. Shore party being raised for pillaging and general Viking duties until we leave for Portland at1430. Friendly board paddlers just approached, not pirates just telling us of a forthcoming para wet drop into Studland Bay. Even more exciting than today's PanPan issued by a forces boat in Poole Harbour. Life is not dull. All well.
