I sailed from Isla Mujeres on a course to Key West, Florida and arrived there in one piece on Thanksgiving Day at 6:30 in the evening.

Stark reality of life at sea

Rachel's picture


It’s a stark reminder that the ocean is in charge. Always. Whilst it would be easy to assume that these rowers were inexperienced or unprepared, the reality is that these boats were skippered and crewed by some of the most experienced ocean rowers in the world.

A year after her journey began, teenager Laura Dekker has achieved her goal of sailing solo around the world. Arriving in St Maarten this weekend at 16 years and 123 days of age, the Dutch girl cut six months off the unofficial record set in 2010 by Australian teenager Jessica Watson, who completed her non-stop voyage around the world just days away from her 17th birthday.

OAR's visit to the Outdoor Show

Rachel's picture


An unexpected break from fighting the pirates last week saw me (Mick Dawson) back in the UK and able to attend the Boat Show at the ExCel. It's a bit of an old stomping ground for me in my former life as a professional yacht Captain and I bumped into loads of old friends, particularly on the Sunseeker stand, who had my old yacht up for sale and on display.
