Having finally being able to resolve our respective work commitments, Tom & I are now full steam ahead preparing for our next attempt to cross an ocean this year. But we couldn't have contemplated this without the support of our family & friends and the renewed support from many of our sponsors.

Just like when we first started out on this venture, the Twickenham Sea Cadets unreservedly came to our assistance by providing a home for our boat whilst we got her into shape again, so a huge thank you to the Officers, Staff & Cadets at TS Saumarez.

Likewise Blakes Paints without question provided a resupply of their fantastic Ocean Performer anti-foul, some primer & top coat to touch up DiDi's make-up so she can hold her bow high at the start line in La Gomera.

And with a new campaign comes changes to our web address, team emblem & sponsor logos, so it was great to find that Signs Express are again stepping in to provide new decals to complete DiDi's outfit .... photos to follow soon.

Thankfully in addition to our existing sponsors, new companies are helping us to fill the sponsorship gap & details of these will be posted shortly.

In the meantime Tom & I can only express our humble thanks to everyone for their support, generosity & encouragement for 'Take Two' the new team name who will soon take the Atlantic by storm ..... hmmm perhaps that's not the best turn of phrase.
