Sunday 24th July - Time to head home

Its been an amazing journey, with so many different parts to it, it feels like we have been on board Tenacity for weeks. We have learnt a lot along the way, not just about sailing and learning to run the boat, but also about food and cooking. Everyone loved baking and enjoyed making cakes, and even more we enjoyed eating them! Everyone really enjoyed the night sailing, and would love to be able to do that again. It was so lovely with just us and the sea and the stars, and a really rewarding trip around the Isle of Mull. We decided the things we have missed the most while we have been away included our own comfy beds and some private space.


So here's an overall summary of our trip - in no particular order:

'Am on a boat'. The Tall Ships in Ullapool. Getting strange looks due to our team matching hoodies. On our first day, 'there was chunder everywhaereee'. The cup of tea marathon had begun. 'We're all dooomed'. Our new friend 'Stornoway Coastguard, Stornoway Coastguard, Stornoway Coastguard'.

'What you doing?'....'Baking a cake!'

They're charts, not maps. Speed record for Tenacity in the Sound of Sleat 9.7! 'Welcome to Eigg' a greeting from one of the islands 78 residents. Connor helped make the boat, oh no, we're all dooomed. 'Sail, sail, sail your boat'. Walking to the coop in our oilies. TV voice overs. Too much giggling, or maybe not enough! 'You can never have enough self raising flour!!' The Mexican Revelation. Saved from the Loch Ness Monster because of our morning porridge. 'We're all dooomed'. But we finished it all off with a refreshing water fight.


So that just about sums up our adventure....

Its now time to say goodbye to Tenacity and for us all to make the journey home.

Many thanks, and happy sailing to the next crew xx
