After a great night in the Glenbrook Friday, we all headed off to climb Hungry hill Saturday morning. It seemed such a good idea the day before but with a few of suffering from the previous night, the initial eastern shoulder was proving a bit of a test. Fiona decided that she would have to sleep on the decsion and so went back to bed, the rest of us climbed on. We all got into our stride at the top of the shoulder and the rest was very enjoyable making the summit in about 3 hours.
Back at the house that evening the party got under way with the champagne flowing and congratulations all round. 3.30 am we ran out of booze so Noel decided it was time to carry the party on down at the Birches, I left them to it.
It has been a great 6 months and Gail and I have made great new friends. We wish them all the best for their new maritime ventures and hope that the seas will bring them the same happiness and adventures it has brought us.

Thank you so much Niall and Gail. You have gone out of your way to ensure we all had a brilliant 6 months. I cant believe I have gone from having next to no sailing experience to feeling absolutely comfortable and confident skippering a boat by day and night. I have spent the last 6 months smiling and you have taught me a skill that makes me truly happy so that I can keep on grinning away! It feels wrong to be on land on a Monday (it's been all of 2 days!) so have just emailed the Spirit of Oysterhaven enquiring about their upcoming Atlantic crossing.
