UPDATE  18th July 2014

I have completed this circumnavigation and have taken the RYA Yachtmaster Offshore exam and now wait for the RYA to ratify the examiner’s recommendation of a ‘Pass’. With that good news I am no longer going to update this blog – once I have uploaded some more pictures – but will leave it here during the time it takes me to write, in more detail, of my experiences during the journey. I would do it again, or something similar, at the drop of  a hat.

I await the RYA decision

Tony.
