Tim and Henry are sailing the Atlantic in a 26 foot folkboat. They are flying out to Portugal to meet the boat in two weeks whence they sail it to the Canaries (Gran Caria to be specific). The race starts on the 25th November and you can find further details at www.worldcruising.com/arc. They hope to arrive for the 20th December and then spend Christmas in the Caribbean before Tim flies back to London to find a job in February. They have set up a webpage (www.justgiving.com/timothyfosh) to aid people in giving whatever they may feel is a fair sum to their supported charity, the Samantha Dickson Trust. Hopefully other OMs will be keen to help two recent OMs in our adventure and spirit of endeavour.
England, Holland, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Serbia Montenegro, Macedonia, Greece, Turkey...Day #1 of this trip I found myself sitting beside my bike in Wandsworth, Tool-kit spread out on the pavement (for show) and my gear pedal stuck under my engine for the third time that day...I was less than optimistic about riding to Japan and back. «more»
