Fizz of Cowes is taking part in the ARC 2009 crossing from Las Palmas to St Lucia, starting on November 22nd. The crew on Fizz for the ARC are Chris and Stu Willis, Liz Absalom, John Pryke and Davd Warner.

We are running a "Guess how long it takes us to get there" competition, with exciting prizes for the 3 closest guesses. Anyone can enter the competition, see our website www.fizzofcowes.com for details.

We are trying to raise money for a very worthy charity called Sussex Sailability which encourages people with disabilities to learn to sail.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
