I will be joining a team from VMware, where we will be participating in a voyage with the Jubilee Sailing Trust on one of their purpose built Tall Ships. In February 2018, the voyage will start and end from Sal in the Cape Verde Islands. The route will take in some of the Cape Verde Islands. I will be ‘buddied’ up with a disabled person and be responsible for helping them get the most from the voyage. Any funds raised will contribute towards the cost of the trip for myself and my buddy.

Working as part of a watch we will participate in all aspects of crewing LORD NELSON from setting sails to washing dishes, from helming the ship to keeping watch at night.

The tall ships experience provides a wonderful, friendly and life enhancing opportunity for people of all physical abilities to work together on board our ships, gain self-confidence, push individual boundaries and be valued for what one can do, not what one can’t.

The funds raised here will not only contribute towards the expenses already incurred, including flights to and from Sal and the visa entry requirements, but most importantly will go towards the Jubilee Sailings Trust to provide a life-changing experience for a member of our society who would normally not have an opportunity to take part in such a trip.

Thank you!!
