It made us proud to be British ... we had a wonderful day, watched Hand Ball and cheered Croatia and Denmark to victory, sat in the Park and watched the big screen, walked miles and eventually arrived home courtesy of National Express totally shattered!
Ocean Rainbow had a day off ... her crew went to watch Polo and what an afternoon was had with the 9th/12thL carrying off the biggest silver cup imagineable. Well done Matt Eyre-Brook, Matthew Woodhead, Chris Fisher and Hugh Robinson .... and all the supporting cast who cheered them to victory.

With winds gusting 30 knots Fantasie was dismasted but her crew managed to rescue the mast, rigging and sails despite the bumpy seas. OR stood by at the ready but we were not needed nor were the crew of Portishead lifeboat who arrived in time to ensure that […]

A great day and a great night.

After a dash down channel we managed to get to Oxwich bay in time to welcome Eileen and Chris Stables on board... their instructions from Lil' Claire and Andrew had been to dress warmly, wear wellies and not to worry about supper! They were well and truly 'surprised'! We had a great evening.

It makes our adventure seem much closer but also a bit worrying considering the amount of work still to be […]

As a retirement present for her Dad, Cate Everitt arranged a trip for her parents (Liz and John) as her Dad had always enjoyed sailing and hadn't had the opportunity to sail recently. Short of crew […]
Andrew, Tom and Tom out for a day's sail on OR. Alison and Kay joined us in the marina for drinks afterwards!
