Getting to grips with navigation and general seamanship holds the key to the successful completion of this challenge. We spent the Easter weekend under the watchful eye of our mentor Jim Crick and Hamish's Dad Nigel on board the yacht Coriander. This culminated in Nick becoming a qualified Day Skipper and Hamish a Yachtmaster.Jim has shown enormous patience since starting to teach us the ways of the sea and we are extremely grateful for his help. Despite giving us insight into the doubts of many experienced sailors, we are now approaching the row from a much more knowledgeable platform.
