Just a small note to thank everyone for their good lucks and congratulations for the Scottish Islands Peaks Race. We finished at 7:30am on Monday morning. Although we came in last we did finish. There was a few boats that didn't make it. We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience and if we ever do it again we will have a much better idea on what to expect. The jump up to this sort of challenge was immense and we all pulled together through thick and thin to finish. Full report to come but for the meantime I couldn't resist posting the picture of our boat from the top of the mast again.
A full report of our trip that includes the sailors point of view as well as the runners can be found at http://fb5.blogspot.com
Congratulations must go to Chris Upson and his boat Blue Chip who won the event an amazing 23 hours ahead of us.

Hi Marco, Chris Upson's blog gave a pretty fair idea of what sort of ordeal you've been through. I'm full of admiration for anyone who can finish something like this.
Congratulations on a) surviving it and b) completing it!
Hey Marco,
It's the taking part that counts, must have been the sailors fault,I,ll take you round the course in my Kayak next year I'm sure I would be quicker :-) :-)no well done must have been a great experience sounds good fun.
Marco, I am glad you are alive. After seeing you on those photos I thought you must have suffered a lot.
But congratulations for making it to the finsh line. Let's not talk about position ;-)
See you soon!
Cheers,
Thomas
Well done Marco - but is it not about time for a new post? :)
