80 miles in 7 days of rowing. Now I've finished - what's next??



Having now finished a project that has increasingly dominated my life (and that of my long-suffering family), I have to return to paperwork/fixing/repairing and tidying-up the stuff around me.

First I would like to express my sincere thanks to my wife Joyce, daughter Vicky and the boys, my cousin June from Exmouth, also friends, neighbours and the wonderful Zumba and Aerobics girls. I don't think I could have completed the challenge without their practical help and support together with their encouraging comments.
I would also like to thank everyone for their sponsorship/donations to the charity Children On The Edge, which is now over £1,000. Further donations will be much appreciated and the online donations page will be open for a few more weeks.

I hope everyone has enjoyed reading my posts!
I said that I would post some more photos now find that I don't have many that are very different from those posted earlier, but here are some:

Setting off to get the boat out of the Harbour before the tide went out
Rowing out to Friars Cliff ready for an early start next morning


The start on July 2nd


Just through Hurst Narrows, looking back towards Hurst Castle and the Needles in the distance.

Rounding Ryde sands, these are a couple of the old Portsmouth offshore forts.

Culver Down Headland between Bembridge and Sandown



Steephill Cove, a few miles south of Ventnor.  A 'secret' hideaway with no road access, just a few houses, some beach huts, a coffee shop, restaurant and a small beach. There are a couple of holiday lets here including, I think, the old lighthouse on the right.



Reeth Bay, after arriving on a sunny day.



St Catherines lighthouse just after leaving Reeth Bay



The minute cross on top of the cliff is Tennyson's monument on Tennyson Down.



























The inflatable trophy cup.  The other side said 'Lands End to John O'Groats 2017'.  Only two sides so I can't do another challenge.

I have completed the Rowing Challenge!!

I arrived back in Mudeford just before 12 noon today after an eventful 12.5 mile passage of 4hrs 30 minutes. It has taken me 7 days of rowing in a variety of conditions to circumnavigate the Isle of Wight and was much harder than I expected. Since I abandoned my original plan of rowing in windless conditions with smooth seas and decided to go when the weather seemed reasonably good, I have experienced a good share of wind and waves. Today’s row is a good example. The decisio n that the forecast looked good enough was made at 12.30 yesterday and we were on the 3pm ferry, retrieved the boat at 4.30pm then looked for a B&B for the night. I left Freshwater Bay at 7.20am and rowed under the white cliffs below Tennyson Down towards the Needles, in lovely calm conditions. I stopped to look at three caves in the cliffs, known as Kitchen, Parlour and Cellar, where in the 17thcentury, a Lord Holmes would apparently entertain his guests! The swell surging into Cellar created a very lo

Why have I decided to (try to) row around the Isle of Wight? Please click 'READ MORE' to see the full post including Charity details - thank you. After completing the challenge of cycling solo and unsupported from Lands End to John O'Groats a couple of years ago, I am now proposing to take on another challenge of rowing around the Isle  of Wight. I am also raising funds for the charity Children On The Edge : https://www.childrenontheedge.org The row is planned to take place some time between the middle of May up early July 2019, starting when a settled spell of fine weather and calm seas appears.  Starting from and finishing in Mudeford, the total distance is about 75-80 miles.  My plan is to row 12-15 miles each day, so it should take me about six days to complete, although this will be subject to tidal flows each day. I have chosen the charity 'Children On The Edge' to benefit from sponsorship of my rowing challenge and have set up a char

Rowing at Sea

Capsize practice - getting back in the boat Training for the Row   Click 'READ MORE' to see more info.    Before owning this Yole I had never rowed a scull with a sliding seat and oars that have to be feathered (blades leveled on the backstroke).  My rowing technique was mainly learned from Youtube and would probably be criticised by a rowing club coach. However it seems to work for me so since   last November I have been training by rowing up, down and around Christchurch Harbour for 1-2 hours or more, usually covering 4 to 7 miles and up to just over 10 miles.  In the last few weeks I have also been able to get rowing out to sea on about six occasions.   The biggest problem is getting out and back into the Harbour through 'The Run', the narrow channel past Mudeford Quay and extending about a quarter of a mile out to sea.   The entire contents of Christchurch Harbour, plus flow from two rivers, are emptied out to sea and then refilled twice each day, through
