Pete Goss and crew, seen here aboard the Spirit of Mystery in Newlyn just before she set sail for Australia. Was he to know that brother-in-law Mark Maidment (top right) would meet the crew from the comfort of the quayside after being put ashore prematurely as a result of being injured a few days before the boat completed the epic voyage......
looking forward, home for the last 5 months......
Mark seen here taking some very useful provisions aboard the Mystery in Newlyn......
a close up view of the fastenings employed to keep the bopat's dinghy on top of the coachroof - the dinghy was ripped from here, along with the fixings when the boat rolled 160 degrees in the storm encountered one week ago. If you take a close look at the starboard planking down to and below the waterline there is evidence that the boat was well shaken in the knockdown.
