My name is Laura Hilton and I am 25 years old from Norfolk. I am writing this blog to enable us to remember every little detail that has gone into the leas up to this adventure. We certainly won't be doing it again together so its important everything is written down.
This blog will be about the lead up, the sailing, the trip home, the highs, the lows and pretty much everything else!
We will be sailing around the world for 18 months starting from this November. We are joining the Arc and World Arc http://www.worldcruising.com/world_arc/event.aspx which is an organised route for yachts to follow around the world safely.
There will be 7 of us on board our Yacht.
