Fantastic news - I know Gordons boat is capable of doing well and I'm sure he'll be there at the end! It's going to be a hell of a trip! Good luck boys!

ORDA round Britain

Good Luck to you ORDA boys I would have given my right arm to do the round Britain.
But Brian I donot know how you are going to manage 1300 odd miles when a trip to sark in a 38ft boat in the chop had you worried .
