An 81-year-old man from the Isle of Wight, has completed a 33-day sail around Britain, raising over £20,000 for Parkinson’s UK and Cure Parkinson’s.
Covering over 2,100 miles this summer, David Temple's challenging route included navigating round the most northerly point of the British Isles, a rock called Muckle Flugga.
David's main motivation for taking on this epic fundraising journey was his wife, Hazel, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 10 years ago.
David, who has been sailing all his life, says that this challenge was his hardest yet, despite sailing the Atlantic multiple times before. At sea for 33 days, David and his crew covered some tricky stretches of coast and overnight sailing.
