Party & Dutchmen

Many thanks for all those who came to see us off at Kiehls last night. It was a great evening with Champagne, prizes, goodybags and a great crowd. Thanks too to Kiehls for making the whole eveneing possible- they were so very generous.

Update- forecast is holding, and we look set for a departure in the early hours of Tuesday morning. With luck we might arrive at some point late on Wednesday- we will update when we can.

We have confirmed news from Holland that we have been waiting for. We now have our long awaited Dutch contingent to the trip. Ben and Chiel are two Dutchem who will be joining us on the crossing. They are fit and have been training for some time. They will be crossing in a 2 man Klepper, similar to the original kayaks used.

We meet them on arrival on Sunday, for some last minute training, and then meeting the Mayor of Katwijk then a litle rest and off!

Details to follow as and when we can. If you can you can find us on Facebook where Victoria will be updating as we go as best she can. Messages of support are very welcome!

Watching the wind...
