I would like to congratulate Giacomi de Stefano on completing his 5,200km journey from London to Istanbul in an Iain Oughtred-designed Ness Yawl a few days ago.
Hopefully he will be just about getting over it!
He’s had difficulties, including a bout of illness, and the journey has been a feat of resilience and determination, as well as an exploration. It has been achieved by an amazingly diverse collection of old and new friends and supporters, and has included some remarkable experiences.
Giacomo’s weblog reveals a very distinctive, determined personality and some great photography, and is well worth leafing through.
Thank you very much Gavin. Soon a pint together at the Shipwright’s Arms.
Be water (not too much..)
