With a few weeks to go, FACT volunteers Mary Jeddere-Fisher and Becky Cross, departed Tollesbury on 12 June for a round Britain voyage to raise sponsorship for FACT's Bursary Fund - they are currently tied up in Penzance wet dock. You can follow their Jellyfish blog and the remainder of their voyage - or make a contribution to this worthwhile charity that gives youngsters, who otherwise couldn't afford to, a chance to change their lives. At 21 ft, the boat is a tight squeeze for the two intrepid sailors, at least in the dock their is no chance of them using a store pot as a mooring - bet Traz was impressed!
The Jellyfish boat is a Coribee, well known in adventure circles for its sea-keeping ability and sturdiness - as Ellen McArthur can testify.

a very patriotic Irish-Cornish affair.
