Far have we travelled and much have we seen…could certainly be the anthem for Josh Tarr and Jason McKinlay of Team Savoir Faire as they row at nearly four knots up the west coast of the Mull of Kintyre.
Savoir Faire
The pair from Salcombe, Devon are now in Scottish waters and have a fair wind and tide to take to their next objctive, the Isle of Skye bridge, which they hope to reach by Tuesday.
Meanwhile, 35miles north of the Skye Bridge, GBRow 2013 race leaders the Islanders are stuck at anchor.
In a message to race HQ Alan Morgan onboard the Islanders’ boat the Black Oyster wrote: “Today is all about keeping our morale up. We really pushed ourselves hard over the last few days and we’ve been stopped again by head wind and swell.
“With almost no tide to help us out we’re stuck…Frustration doesn’t even do the feeling justice.”
