Around the UK by Hobie Cat
18/06/2008 | Posted by Nick | Permalink
Every now and again you have to stand back and admire the effort that some people put into their charity fundraising. This is true for two sailors that are currently circumnavigating Britain - in a Hobie Cat.
Fin and Stuart are sailing around Britain on the Hobie Challenger for charity and tracking their progress as they venture out to sea. Having left Salcombe on July 1 their last reported position was off the coast of north Wales. You can follow their progress here on Map My Tracks.
They are aiming to raise £100,000 for Rainbows. Help them out by contributing what you can.
