Around Britain 2004

Sailing around Britain and climbing the three highest mountains in England, Wales and Scotland. 

My name is Sam Kent and early in 2004 I set myself the above Challenge which I completed on Silverwind.

We set off on the 23rd July on route to the Isles of Scilly. After four and a half months of exciting, challenging, rewarding and sometimes frustrating sailing we returned to Penzance on the 11th December. 

We left quietly under engine on a flat calm evening and arrived back to a "Champaign Reception" powering home under spinnaker.
