Mayday, Mayday, Mayday The Long Row Home

Anchored off Selsey Bill, near the RNLI lifeboat station, Allan and Mhairi’s attention is suddenly drawn to their VHF radio as they hear a Mayday relay call about a boat in distress. The crew are preparing to abandon ship. Hearing this just drills home to them the reason why they are doing the Long Row Home and the importance of the charities they are supporting. Despite both being RNLI crew the rawness and impact of hearing a Mayday call can never be underestimated.
Their passage to Selsey has been another battle against the elements. Except this time it has been the heat and sunshine on top of the tide.
They are expecting a new weather system to arrive soon so are resting up before making for an all out push down the Solent which offers little in terms of shelter from southerly winds.
