Having re-started my attempt to sail nonstop, solo, around the world in 'Nereida', this time from Victoria (on Vancouver Island in British Columbia) in October 2010, and then having suffered a knockdown on Day 72, over 100 miles before reaching Cape Horn, I did manage to sail around the Cape unaided two days later and finally reached Cape Town in S.Africa on 11th May 2011 - which completed a single-handed circumnavigation started from there on 9th March 2010 (I sailed eastabout to New Zealand, Hawaii, USA and Canada).
I have again chosen to raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care in doing so. This is a great charity that provides specially-trained nurses free of charge to enable terminally ill people to end their days in their own homes surrounded by their loved ones.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Marie Curie Cancer Care gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, is added to your donation.
Thank you so much for visiting my sponsorship site. I appreciate your support and have enjoyed hearing from many of you over the past months.
You can see my route (I posted my position daily) and read my daily reports by going to my website: www.svnereida.com
Warm regards,
