Hi, thanks for visiting our blog.
Having undertaken a 70 mile cycle ride around the Isle of Wight on July 2nd 2011 to raise money for Mike and his wife to experience a Tall ship adventure we are finally ready to set Sail from Las Palmas Gran Canaria on January 26th 2015 with the Jubilee Sailing Trust.
Mike suffered a stroke 4 years ago which has left him with limited movement on his left hand side. Having spent the first 6 months at Oxford Centre for enablment Mike is now a long way along his journey on the road to recovery.
The Jubilee Sailing Trust is a registered charity whose mission is to promote the integration of people of all physical abilities through the challenge and adventure of sailing tall ships on the open sea.The ships have been specially designed and built to achieve their mission. They are an example of what can be done to enable people with very different levels of physical ability to participate fully. They are also a reminder to people of how important simple design changes can be to making an environment inclusive.
This will be a wonderful opportunity for Mike to be able to experience adventure sailing and to continue his journey towards further recovery.
Joining us on the adventure is Mike's wife Alison and my work colleague the one and only sea shanty Dave Hale and his parrot named 'Pieces of Eight'
Enjoy the blog as the adventure unwinds.....stayed tuned shipmates
