Story

<p>Alex and I ran away to sea last year and are now facing the awesome prospect of a return crossing of the Atlantic. It is 3,600 miles of cold seas, huge waves, strong winds and even icebergs.</p> <p>We're raising money for the <strong>Marine Conservation Society</strong> to say thank you for the experience of a year afloat. MCS (<a href="http://www.mcsuk.org">www.mcsuk.org</a>) is helping to protect many species of fish and marine creature from overfishing and from&nbsp;pollution. It also helps to keep beaches sandy and free of plastic and other litter which can be really harmful to sea creatures.</p> <p>We're hoping to raise as many pounds as possible, so please pledge your support. There are no shortcuts, so be sure to track our progress by visiting our blog at <a href="http://blog.mailasail.com/summersong">http://blog.mailasail.com/summersong</a>.</p> <p>Thanks</p>
