The sailing team of Kate, Mike and Pete have picked up their race boat "Dipper" from Laargs on the West Coast of Scotland. On Saturday (13th June) they began sailing it down towards the start of the 3 Peaks Yacht Race The first stop was Lamlash (the view in the left is Holy Island) on Arran on Saturday night.
On Sunday this was the view from the boat at dawn. They sailed across the Irish Sea to Bangor in light winds and showers. Spirits were high and the boat went well in the light breezes.

On Monday they set off for the Isle of Man in thick fog.They were very grateful for the loan David's handheld GPS and chart plotter that helped them avoid rocks and islands!
On Tuesday they crossed back to the Welsh Coast and had their first view of the Menai Straits where they will latter do battle against the tide.
