Sailing across Tees Bay

Posted on by

Phil Webster, RNLI volunteer and Coxswain of the Tees Pilot Cutter Pilot Cutter sent this picture of Duet heading for Hartlepool across Tees Bay on Wednesday 6th June.

He adds . . .

“I hope that your round Britain trip will inspire at least some of the young crews to look at taking up sailing as a hobby or even look at a career at sea. Once you take that first step onto the ladder of the sea then it opens up a whole new world. New doors keep opening for you & who knows where it will lead you….remember, everyone has to start somewhere.If you find something that you enjoy & want to do, then nothing can get in the way of you reaching it”

Thanks Phil!
