Hi All

I have been asked by Keith Patrick and his crew Iain Johnson to let you know that they have set of on 30th August 2010 in a Series 1 Albin Vega Rough Diamond from Dunoon Scotland to sail around Britain about 2000 NM non stop. The boat has no engine so this is a true sailing adventure of the old kind. If you would like to follow their progress you can do this on their Blog at

The Circumnavigation Blog

Keith has previously saild around Britain single handed but with stops but this time with a crew of one he is planning to do the whole trip on 4 hour on 4 hour off watches and complete the trip in 3 weeks. If you think them a bit crazy I can confirm that Keith is no ordinary mortal!
