Hi all,
Gerry Hughes is now sailing away from the British Isles.
His family and friends are staying behind.
As he sails away, we will be here for him -
supporting him -
and keeping strong for him.
On Facebook, the number of members in his group has been growing quickly.
Now we have nearly 1,500 members!
It's good to see people following his progress.
Now Gerry is on his own,
he can't go shopping or for a walk in the woods -
he won't be meeting anyone.
He only has his boat.
There is no one with him.. No, wait -
there actually is something that gives him company and courage.
I used to have that too,
but for two and half years I have been ignoring it.
This is a famous,
Scottish,
absolutely amazing thing.
Now we're united again and it is here with me!
Hello, want to meet all these people?
I want to toast to Gerry Hughes -
for his determination to sail around the world non-stop.
I'd like to see us all supporting him -
and believing in him.
