| 31-4 | 2004 | Sailing | Mike sets off for Round Britain sail down the East Coast from Stonehaven, he had rounded the Channel Isles and was on passage for the Scilly Isles, when bad weather was encountered. In atrocious conditions, with wind force 9/10 and heavy short seas, Falmouth Coastguard was advised of the situation. The Coastguard requested the Lizard lifeboat to be launched and stand by. Gellie was eventually taken in tow by the lifeboat some 30 miles of the coast and made for Falmouth dead to windward. The tow to relative shelter took ten hours. On arrival the Coxswain of the lifeboat stated that he was amazed that the boat had stood up to the rigours of the tow in such appalling weather. | ||||||
