CREW PADDY BEAR - TRAVELLING AROUND IRELAND

We now have the Crew Paddy Bear to take with us around Ireland. We are hoping to get the crew of as many Lifeboat Stations as possible to sign the Paddy Bear Log Book

And, we can use that as the prize in the competition of the collective noun of lady skippers.

We have signed Paddy Bear up to Virgin Money Giving. Sailing Round Ireland 2013 Team for the RNLI.

If anyone wants to think of an appropriate name, they can pay a donation of £1 or more and make a suggestion.

Good luck to everyone.

Only 2 and half weeks to go.

Still lots to do. Mostly little things. I have to get a dongle for my computer, so we can get e mails. Apparently the

Signal in Ireland isn’t too good, so it may be hit and miss.

We had our life jackets checked by the RNLI Team on Friday, and although they are OK. We have to get some

Spare gas cylinders.

I am going to make the usual Large Fruit Cake for the journey.  Usually this lasts quite well for a few weeks.

Maybe I should make 2.

I am attaching picture of Paddy Bear. Isn’t he great?
