We are a 24 hour search & rescue service to save lives at sea

Story

This summer we are sailing round Britain, going clockwise starting and finishing in Southampton aboard Javelin our 39 foot yacht.  We plan to take 6 weeks, weather permitting.  You can follow us on our blog which we will update daily with our advantures,   

We are raising money for the RNLI who do a fantastic job saving lives did you know last year that the RNLI launched lifeboats 3,230 times in the dark, 15 times on Christmas day rescued 8,313 people, spent 10,758 hours saving lives at sea, the lifeguards on the beach carried out 1,958,581 preventative actions and educated 17,320 children.

Hopefully we will not need to use the RNLI services!

Please donate to the RNLI and to make it more fun, we are running a competition, the winners will receive a weekends sailing on Javelin after she returns.  When you donate go to our blog http://www.offexploring.com/peterh/home and give us an estimate of the number of miles we will travel.  The person with the best estimate will win.

Many thanks,

Peter & Sue Hurley
