Helen - Joe's reflections



Crossing the line was both a great sense of achievement and the realisation that something which had been a long standing dream had finally been achieved.

I don't remember exactly when Philip raised the prospect of crossing the Atlantic in his own boat, but it was many years ago and ever since them it was my long term objective to part of the experience. Philip put a great amount of effort into planning and preparing Helen 575 for the crossing and all his efforts were appreciated by all the crew.

The crossing itself was great fun and in the main lived up to expectations. The only thing missing on occasions was a lack of wind, but when it was with us Helen 575 performed extremely well. There was also a lack of wildlife, but overall I don't think we could have had a better crossing.

Many people have made this experience possible, including my family and employer, I would like to thank them all. However, I would like to specially thank Philip for giving me this opportunity.

Joe
