For some unfathomable reason, at the age of 49 Jean Tyrrell decided to take up sailing.
They arrived back where they started in Lymington, happy to have discovered that Britain and its people are indeed great.
Surprisingly, they made it all the way round, including the top bit, with all limbs and teeth intact.
Sailing in unpredictable British waters was a constant challenge full of excitement, trepidation, beautiful scenery, industrial wastelands, a cupboard full of decent wine, fish and chips by the bucket load and a good cake in every port.
The three month trip Around Britain was a mind blowing adventure for the Tyrrells.
Somewhere along the way, a brave and hardy boat called Bella Rosa was also recruited to share the experience.
She also needed to accumulate more Sailing certificates and get lots of Sailing practice.
The ideal team member would be Bob her husband, so she set herself the task of recruiting him to accompany her.
To do this successfully, she needed crew.
After having completed a basic competent crew course, she surprised herself and everyone else by becoming obsessed with the idea of Sailing round Great Britain.
