Look at a map, Dublin-Falmouth. 
Shaggy'll need bloody good eyesight to see them from St. Ives too!

I'd guess that the guys will leave Falmouth pretty early on Tues morning, Chris. I'd be up for it as long as it's not peeing down. Good photo opportunity.

What an experiance. Our route was knocked about by the weather, we were knocked about by the wind but after 8 days we got home, an amazing feeling of achievement and lots of great fun along the way.

She performed wonderfully. Had one minor hickup with a warning tell tale on the dash but that was resolved without issue, the boat and the crew took a beating that day and I think she was just sick of it all. BTW I was amazed by the Optimax, average for the whole trip bearing in mind there were 3 crew on board and upto 460 litres of fuel and 50 litres of oil she only burned 1.07 litres per nautical mile with an average speed of 31.8 knots...
