The great ship Kookaburra

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.
