A day tougher than yesterday which wasn’t expected! We hit South East Ireland having recovered from the storm despite the strong tide in between Ireland and Wales.
Anchored with the tide against us we saw an aeroplane crash into the sea (http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2009/0811/breaking71.htm) and initiated the mayday rescue and were first on the scene. We got caught in the rip tides & over fall just off Tuskar rock which cost us several hours.
The pilot was rescued by the coast guard helicopter and has since confirmed to be safe.
What seems to be a daily occurrence of drama has left us with power problems and has pushed the world record from sight.
However, we are safe and well and heading to the coast to discuss our options.
More news tomorrow (hopefully of wind behind us).
Lots of love,
GB boys. xxxx
