'Tiny' LITTLE.

 

La Gomera, January 21 2005. Departure

Tiny was accompanied by the British yacht "SILVER WIND" owned by Pete & Marion Dawson, and by  yacht “BONCHO”, chartered by a group of Irish sailors.
This group from the National Yacht Club in Dun Laoghaire, Dublin, and Carrickfergus while on a week sailing holiday in the Canaries had the pleasure to bump in to Tiny in Gomera the night before his departure, we shared a few drinks and some songs and had a few snaps taken while viewing the boat, I attach for you to post on the site photos of Rob, Larry, Denise, Honor, Geraldine and Barbara with Tiny at the start of his journey.

On board our chartered yacht “Boncho” we escorted him out of the harbour in La Gomera at the start of his epic journey leaving him in very high spirits (despite the hangover
) rowing his way towards Hierro.

We will be tracking his progress and look forward to a celebratory pint in Norwich!

Best Wishes from the crew of “Boncho” !
