Marcus gets closer to Rio

Club member Marcus Patrick is close to the finishing the 5500nm journey to Rio de Janerio aboard the Edinburgh Inspiring Capital currently in 8th place for leg 1 of the Clipper Round the World Race. You can follow the progress of the Clipper Race here: http://www.clipperroundtheworld.com/index.php/follow/race-viewer/

We look forward to hearing about the trip from Marcus when he gets back. Another person you may recognise who is taking part in the race is Liz Wigglesworth from Yorkshire RYA. Currently her boa,t Derry-Londonderry, is in last place, but its a close run thing.

The Yorkshire boat has had an excellent race in leg 1 coming 2nd.

There will be some literature and a poster in the club house for those interested in the race, recruiting is underway for 2012/13 so get inspired!
