- This is by far the craziest, coolest thing I will do in my life so far, and so I can’t wait. It would make it even more awesome if you guys support these two charities and help me reach my goal!
Here is the link to donate to the charities: gofund.me/ae5f...
(Donations will be split between the two)

Good luck Nestor and stay safe!
Thank you!
Here are my safety suggestions, as I have done it in a Mirror unsupported. Take a chart and compass and have a passage plan. Take a VHF and if poss a PLB Take warm clothing, food and water - do not get cold or dehydrated or sunburnt. Make sure you can heave-to to attend to the boat or take a pee. Check the tidal streams and forecasts very carefully. Always have in your mind a fall back haven if things go wrong. Good sailing.
Wow nice one! I will be supporting by my dad which does change things but yes I will do all these things and thank you for your advice. How long did it take in the mirror?
@@nestorandhisboat I took two days with an overnight at Bembridge half way. I used an engine for the 25% of the voyage which was head to wind. You can find my video on the Mirror Cruising channel. Good sailing.
@@msf60khz I will have a look at it now that’s awesome
The R.L.N.I. a worthy charity which I am involved in. All the best, Nestor. Keep well and safe. James.
this is a 10-14 hours non-stop tour requesting permanent attention. Make sure you get your play-list ready....
Yes it will be quite a long one!
considering wind conditions the next days, you should contemple the option to rather go clockwise
Exactly what i’ve been looking at and what im going to do
Here is the link to support the two charities, any amount is really appreciated!!

Good luck Nestor! I'll be around there in some few weeks (well in that area)..catch up with you on coffee maybe. Cheers...ps I will also be in Rock at the end of August
Thanks! Yes send me a message over there. Where Rock? Sounds cool
@@nestorandhisboat My Uncle has a place near the Mariners opposite the Yacht club in Rock. Our plan is to go from Chichester to Torbay and then along to the Lizard..I will text you on coffee so as to be private. ..anyway it' isn't that easy to get to Rock lol
Camel I meant
Is your dad a keen sailor, naming you after an Argonaut?
What about the independent lifeboats? Much as I respect the RNLI quite frankly the independents (including those around the Island) need the funds more than the RNLI...
Hadn’t really thought about it to be honest! Next time!
Are you wearing a proper PFD here? Will you be prepared for this sail in every way? It's vital to have fun, to be successful, and BE SAFE!
Yes I will be, and will check over boat with spares ready etc. Have made a full plan with tidal gates I have to make it through. I will also have someone in a power boat going around with me.
Propelled by the wind, driven by determination and fueled by Wheatabix, you've got this Nestor. The "Movies" will be great watching.
All the best from land-locked Bob 😜👍🥣
Ha! Thanks Bob, looking forward to sharing many more ‘movies’ with you!
